Last week's vegetarian dish was a dahl. I got the main recipe from Thimble's Blog but because we don't eat onions or garlic nor did I have the spices, I changed it.
Coconut Dahl
2.5 dl orange lentils
5 dl water
½ curry
dash pepper
½ tsp ginger powder
1.25 dl coconut
2.5 tbsp yogurt
Cook lentils according to package instructions. Add curry, pepper, ginger, coconut and yogurt and heat through. Serve over rice.
I bought something today that I've never bought before. Fresh ginger. I wasn't even sure how it tasted so I was a bit weary about using much of it. I googled fresh ginger and found out it can be frozen, so I cut it up into pieces and froze the rest. I also read that it is possible to put it through a garlic press which sort of worked.
Today's vegetarian meal was what we call a macaroni salad. I use either a tin of kidney beans or chickpeas. I tried a new dressing on top. I usually just mix some oil, honey, orange juice, dried dill, paprika and curry together.
Apple Salad Dressing
1 apple, cored, seeded and chopped small
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp sesame seeds
¼ tsp dried dill
dash chili powder
½ tsp curry powder
small piece of fresh ginger, grated
¾ dl olive oil
Puree until smooth
Macaroni Salad
1 tin of kidney beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1-2 carrots, diced small
cucumber, diced
red pepper, chopped
(celery, chopped)
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
Mix well with dressing.
