From silver_raven_venus 15 years agoIngredients
- 1.5 cups green lentils, rinsed well (can use other colored lentils also) shopping list
- 3 cups water shopping list
- 2 TBSP Red curry powder (McCormick's Collections version is what I used) shopping list
- 3 TBSP Soy milk Powder (found in the dry health food section of a typical grocer. It may not be available, but it adds a creaminess) shopping list
- 1 TBSP garlic salt shopping list
- 2-4 tsp cumin shopping list
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander shopping list
- 1/4 tsp chili powder shopping list
- 1 tsp paprika shopping list
- Fresh red peppers, finely chopped in the food processor shopping list
- (then) shopping list
- 1 cup quinoa, rinse well shopping list
- 2 cups water shopping list
- 1 can diced tomatoes (no flavors added) shopping list
- 1 TBSP Red curry powder shopping list
- 2 TBSP Soy milk Powder shopping list
- 3 tsp garlic salt (at the most, be careful as this can get salty) shopping list
- 1 tsp cumin shopping list
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander shopping list
- 1/4 tsp chili powder shopping list
- 1 tsp paprika shopping list
How to make it
- You will need two boiling pots
- Boil then simmer the lentils until well broken-down
- Add spices and flavors and mix (add the peppers last)
- Start the quinoa only after the lentils are broken down
- Once the quinoa is almost done, add the tomatoes and spices
- This is when you add the hot peppers
- Add water to both pans as needed.
- Cook until both are as wet/dry as you like. I thought it tasted good with the quinoa a bit more dry (not soupy), but the lentils being a bit soupy.
- This has a very interesting flavor, and feel free to put more/less spices in. The spices I listed are more/less just ratios of the spices you will want, depending on how spicy you want. I found it tasted better with more spices, and I added 5 small red peppers (not sure of the kind, but they were the kind that grow straight up kinda like a poinsettia, rather than down like jalapenos and habaneros), but feel free to use less/more/none. :-)
- (cumin:coriander= 4:1 ratio) (chili:paprika= 1:2-4 ratio) garlic salt to taste
- (cumin:red curry powder= 1:2-4)
