Leveraging Lentils

Leveraging Lentils
I try to keep lentils on hand because they satisfy without the baggage of meat. Instead of serving them with brown rice tonight, I made roasted fingerling potatoes which are sold in a mixed bag at Costco. I removed the dark purple ones because they are too dense and grainy for my taste.
Sauté a small diced onion, a stock of celery, and a few slim carrots in butter and olive oil; add a bay leaf, some cumin, cayenne and black pepper, salt; (sizzle the spices before the next step) add the lentils and chicken broth. Simmer about 45 minutes give or take…..
I served them with a side of stylish Hawaiian cut beef ribs which we roasted in the oven at the same time as the potatoes. Before roasting, I tossed them in teriyaki sauce and voilà!
After this dinner, my kids gladly cleared the table in case there was some leftover meat on a bone or two.
