Yummy Lentils image

Categories Lentil Simmer Boil

Yield serves: 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

for cooking the lentils
2 cups green or black lentils
1/2 red onion, peeled, hairy end left on
1/2 carrot
1 celery rib
2 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
1 thyme bundle, tied with butcher's twine
Kosher salt
for finishing the lentils
Extra virgin olive oil
4 slices of bacon, cut into lardons
1/2 red onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
1 clove garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery rib, finely diced
1/2 cup reserved lentil cooking liquid
1 bunch of fresh chives, finely chopped

Steps:

TO COOK THE LENTILS
In a large saucepan, combine the lentils, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme bundle. Add water to cover everything by about 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil (BTB) and reduce to a simmer (RTS); cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are soft.
Remove the pot from the heat and season the water with salt. TASTE it to make sure it is well seasoned. Let the lentils sit in the salty water for 10 to 15 minutes.
Ladle out 1/2 cup of the lentil cooking water and reserve. Strain the lentils. Remove all the veggies and aromatics and discard.
TO FINISH THE LENTILS
Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan lightly with olive oil, add the bacon, and bring to medium heat.
When the bacon has rendered a lot of fat and become brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes, add the diced onion. Season with salt and cook until soft and aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring frequently.
Add the carrot and celery and continue to cook until soft and aromatic, another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the cooked lentils and the reserved lentil cooking water. Cook until most of the liquid has reduced. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed. Toss in the chives and serve hot or at room temperature.

SIMPLE YUMMY SPICED LENTILS

Simple Yummy Spiced Lentils image

A yummy recipe for lentils that can be very easily adapted to whatever you have in the cupboard. Simple and tasty and perfect for winter!

Provided by Chef Kirsten 1

Categories Rice

Time 35m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
3 cups water
1 cup green lentil
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup diced onion
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

mince the garlic and dice the onion.
heat oil in a medium-sized pot, add onion and garlic and heat on low until the onions become translucent (it's important to keep it on the lowest heat setting because garlic burns really easily!).
add a pinch or two of curry powder, coat onions and garlic and sautee for one more minute or until the spice starts to dye them.
now add the lentils and water according to the packaging (mine suggested 1 cup of lentils and 3 cups of water), bring to a boil and add the rest of the spices.
stir, cover, turn the heat back down to low and let simmer for 20-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
drain most of the water and serve over rice or with pita or naan bread and enjoy!
*you can use any spices you have laying around, really. I just sifted through my cupboards and found that these work really well together, but feel free to experiment, add veggies, whatever you like :).
