After watching an episode of Everyday Food, I’ve came to a decision to actually start cooking beans, not just buy canned ones. For one, it’s not really hard at all; it just takes some forethought and planning. And it’s just cheaper, and you gain greater satisfaction in the process (it is more than just opening a can and dumping the contents).
So recently I’ve bought a bag of lentils and couldn’t decide what to do with them. Mostly I would do soup, but the weather is warmer, and I wanted to try something different. Posing the question via Twitter, Maroc Mama (Twitter | Blog) suggested a recipe from her site, Lentils with Caramelized Onions. I made a minor modification (I used canned crush tomatoes instead of grated tomatoes), but it turned out fantastic. The apartment smelled terrific as I was cooking.
But this is my shout-out to Maroc Mama of course. Try her recipe, it’s great.
Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it!
