lentils

What do you have against sweet juicy beets? Are you some kind of a chinese?

>>7589006
I've never had any before, but I assume they just taste like watery red potatoes or something with a slight hint of sweetness.

>>7588980
Lentils with onion, chorizo, and bacon are really good.

>>7589026
Roasted beets are one of the tastiest vegetable preparations out there

>>7589026

They taste nothing like potatoes and are actually very sweet.

Lentils are much better for you than pasta.

Yes, I admit it, I love feta. I pairs so well w/ rosé wine

>>7591189
Can't argue with your sensibilities, but I'd have split that into two dishes: a classic lentil salad with bacon, then a green salad with scallions and (with some fresh dill to put it over the top). But either way I'd pop a bottle of rosé because it's that time of the year.

>>7591207
>scallions and
feta, meant to say scallions and feta

>>7589026
nah they don't really taste like potatoes. that's a strange random assumption.

>>7589040
This. Lentils with any type of pork fat flavor, bacon grease, bits of bacon etc.

>>7591166
I never tried this feta, how would you describe its taste & flavor? Is it one whose taste is consistent or varies with each batch?

Excellent question.

Well, I'd say it isn't the strongest feta of all, its taste is softer than others I've tasted, and a (little) bit creamier.

That's probably why I put so much of it on my plates.

For example, pic related, while soaking in brine, is stronger and drier. I'd put certainly less of it.

>>7591189
Looks good sir.

cook lentils in coconut milk and water with salt

in separate pan, cook down onions until soft, add garlic, cook more, add a shitload of curry powder, cook it into the onlons

dump that into the lentils

off heat, let them cool a little

serve

>>7591189
are those beets boiled, or roasted, or pickled or what?

None of these. :^)

Steamed in pic related, into the microwave for ~30 min.
That way I (hopefully) can keep more nutrients inside...

The tricky part is peeling them while still hot.
