our menu this week

September 21st, 2008 at 08:13 pm

I made a recipe out of one of my new cook books last night which worked out well. It was a roast pumpkin, feta and caremalised onion pie. We had it with a side salad, and BF is taking some with salad for lunch today as well.

On the menu this week:

Red Curry (with lamb for BF)
Lentil Dal
Spinach & Roast Tomato Salad
Korma Curry (with lamb for BF)
Stuffed Roasted Eggplant with Rice
Homemade Pizza (with pepperoni & lamb for BF)

I bought lentils this week in the grocery shop. I haven't eaten them a great deal in my life; my dad has cooked occasionally with them and they've always turned out delicious, but that could be because my dad is a great cook.

Did you know lentils, when eaten with nuts, milk or yoghurt (to make them a 'complete' protein) have a higher amount of protein 100g than beef???

Interesting stuff!

    I'm not sure I even know what a lentil is! But the protein fact is interesting. The menu sounds yummy (from what I understand - mostly southern US cuisine here)... good luck with it!

    I love lentils, raised on lentil soup, one thing my mother could make that was actually good. I raised my girls on the same simple soup. Lentils are in the bean section of the supermarket or bulk section. No need to presoak, they cook in about an hour simmered. Still need to pick through them though.

    I love lentils too! I especially like French lentils, which are a bit greener, smaller, and harder than the brown ones. Cook them the same way as the brown ones; they will keep their shape. They make a great cold salad.
