Curried
Carrots & Lentils
From: arien kismet
del'tai
(adapted from _The New Basics_)
- 1/2 C dried red lentils
- 1-1/2 C water
- 3 carrots, peeled & cut into 2" pieces
- 1/2 C chopped onion
- 1/4 C golden raisins
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
- black pepper, to taste
(I'd normally dry-roast the curry & fennel ahead of time, but that
would take away from the ease of the dish)
Combine lentils & 1/2 C water in a 2-qt microwave-safe casserole.
Nuke at full power, covered, for 5 minutes. (If water foams and
spills over, add 1-2 Tb more water.) Stir in carrots & another
1/2 C water; cover, and nuke for 5 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 C water and all the remaining ingredients; cover,
& nuke for 5 minutes. Serve. (Intended for 650-700 watt microwave;
cook longer if yours is less powerful.)
