Seasonal Recipes
Yellow Lentils
It has been a week now since we have seen temps above freezing. As a result we don't have any fresh veggies from the garden. So now we will be eating more dishes like this.
1 medium onion minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups lentils
5 cups water
1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon cardamon seeds, pods removed
1/2 cup dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon minced turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
pinch cinnamon
salt to taste
Saute the onions in the oil until tender. Add the lentils and water. Grind the peppercorns, coriander seeds and cardamon seeds in a spice grinder. Add to the pot along with the rest on the ingredients except salt. Bring to boil and simmer until the lentils fall apart. Salt to taste.
Note: ground coriander loses flavor quickly and purchased ground cardamon often includes the pods. Therefor, I highly recommend grinding these as needed.

With a week of below freezing temps are your sap buckets ready?

A quick wash and they should be. Tomorrow's high's promise to be in the 40's, and 50 the next 2 days. Thanks for the reminder, I will wash today and tap tomorrow.
