Red curry lentils

 

This made sooooo much food.  I ended up sharing with one of my best friends.  I think it needs a little more seasoning overall.  Here is the recipe


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 yellow onion 
  • 2 cloves garlic 
  • 2 cups lentils
  • 1 sweet potato (about 3/4 lb.) 
  • 2 carrots 
  • 3 Tbsp curry powder (hot or mild) 
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional) 
  • 1 15oz. can petite diced tomatoes 
  • 1 15oz. can tomato sauce
  • 3 cups vegetable broth* 
  • 1 14oz. can coconut milk (full fat) 


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Peel the sweet potato and carrots. Dice the sweet potato (1/4-1/2 inch cubes) and slice the carrots.
  • Add the onion, garlic, sweet potato, carrots, lentils, curry powder, cloves, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetable broth to the slow cooker. Stir to combine. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8 hours. Once cooked, the lentils should be tender and most of the liquid should be absorbed.
  • Stir the can of coconut milk into the lentils. Taste and adjust the salt or other spices as needed (the amount of salt needed will depend on the type of broth used and the salt content of the canned tomatoes).
  • To serve, add 1 cup cooked rice to a bowl followed by 1 cup of the lentil mixture.

Raku

Last night our friends had reservations for Raku and invited us along. We went to the Bethesda location but there is also a location near Dupont Circle and in Arlington. http://www.rakuasiandining.com/ They only had chopsticks at the table and I'm terrible at using them Luckily everyone else at the table was great at using chopsticks. When our friends were served the tofu salad (this looked good and you must love seaweed) they brought them forks but they used chopsticks and I scored a fork :) Our friends also ordered some spring rolls but the spring rolls on the menu seemed to come with shrimp which I dont eat. The dipping sauces that came with their rolls looked really good. The presentation of the dish was really nice They split an entree which was a bento box with beef tenderloin with pomegranate wine sauce (they said the sauce was divine) and an assortment of fish, tempura veggies, some mushrooms etc. It was a huge box of food My husband and I ordered 8 tempura green bean s...
