Wow! Do I ever have some catching up to do! I was sick again and then on vacation- so I've been doing some cooking, but not a lot of writing! I'll be getting all caught up tonight. First up is this honorable mention recipe from Kim Barnouin's latest book. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe! It's super easy to make- takes a bit of time, but most of that time is walk-away time while the lentils cook. All you do is start with some lentils and onion in some boiling water- these cook until soft, about 30 to 40 minutes. Then half the lentils go in a food processor with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. The puree gets mixed with the whole lentils and this is your taco filling. To serve with it you simply make a salsa with cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, jalepeno, lime juice, cilantro, and a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. SO SIMPLE! Then you serve this with some shredded lettuce and avocado (I actually just mixed the avocado into my salsa- delicious!) in either heated soft corn tortillas or crispy taco shells (we picked crispy this time). These are perfect for summer- so fresh and delicious and great on the waistline too- you won't feel heavy or weighed down after eating one of these and you get a great amount of protein and good fats with this recipe too. I know this will become a quick and easy go-to meal- perfect for days when you don't want to exert much effort in the kitchen.
My rating- 9.5
