TZ Recipe #5: Lentils

 Just a friendly reminder to never forget to check out the sky while you're cooking dinner!

 .... and make the locals night while you're at it! 

Ingredients: 

• 1-2 onion 
• 4-5 tomatoes 
• 2 carrots 
• 3-4 pili pili 
• 2 green pepper 
• (any other vegetables that we have that are going bad. usually potatoes. we used an eggplant once. whatever.) 
• curry powder/ beef masala 
• sometimes we thicken it with flour (probably corn) 
• lentils 
• rice 

Steps: 

• begin by sorting then soaking the lentils. do this either the night before or in the morning. 

• turn the lentils on and let cook for about 30 minutes or until they start to soften. you may have to scoop out the white foamy stuff that collects at the top. 

• get out the veggies, wash, and chop 
• add the onion
• then the carrot bc those are hard and take a while to soften. 

• keep chopping and add in the potatoes if using, then green pepper, tomatoes, and poli pili. 
• just let that cook for a while until you think its about done. 
• add 3 big spoonfuls of the curry powder. 

• then add 2-3 spoonfuls of the corn flour if your using. 

• serve over rice and enjoy!
