Lentils – Dinner under Ten Bucks

As some of you may have noticed, I’ve been losing some steam.  I can easily live without meat, but I’m really missing my dairy and wheat.

I wanted to try something new for dinner and Meghan suggested dahl.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had a really easy recipe from my aunt and I’m going to share it with you.

One onion chopped.
Two tomatoes chopped.
One to two cloves of garlic chopped
One tsp. each of cumin, chile and turmeric.
4 ounces of red lentils rinsed
 1.5-2 cups of vegetable stock (or water).

I put all of the ingredients into my slow cooker and let it simmer until the lentils appeared swollen (about one hour). The prep time is about 10 minutes.

Grain of the Week: MILLET is a tiny, round grain that can be white, gray, yellow or red. Like barley, it can be pearled and hulled, but it can also be cracked and this is often how it is found in cereals. Millet is a great source of phosphorous and magnesium. Phosphorus plays a roll in virtually every cell in the body. Phosphorus also helps the body to metabolise fats. A cup of cooked millet provides approximately 24.0% of the daily phosphorus needs. Plain, cooked (boiled) millet can be a bit bland--be sure to season your millet well.
