Well bodied chow which can be served on its own or with bread and tortillas. Can be topped with coconut yogurt or yellow mustard if looking for sour or tang.

Ingredients

Serves 2 hungry adults, 4 normal people.

• 2 cups green lentils (dry, uncooked)
• 1/2 to full head celery, chopped
• 1/2 to full block firm tofu, chopped
• thumb or more fresh ginger, chopped
• 1/2 tsp whole cloves

Optional

Anything you'd add to a vegetable stir fry!

• red kale
• carrots
• sweet potato
• cauliflower
• lima beans
• corn
• baby corn

Seasonings

• 1 tsp oregano

Optional

• black pepper
• thyme
• basil

Prep

Optional

Helps to reduce phytic acid. Cloves may not need this.

1. Soak ingredients in cold to cool water for 30-60 minutes.
2. Drain.

Required

1. Add seasonings.

Directions

I personally use an electric pressure cooker. Stove top directions have been created based on lentil package instructions. Adding an extra cup of water can make it more of a soup rather than stew or medley.

Pressure Cooker

1. Add 4 cups water.
2. Cook on low pressure rice setting, about 12 minutes.
3. Allow pressure to release naturally.

Stove Top

1. Add 6 cups water.
2. Boil for 1 go 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat and cover.
4. Simmer until lentils reach desired texture, 30 to 45 minutes.

Enjoy! :)
