Directions
Red Lentil Salad,A delicious recipe from Bal Arneson. I love red lentils because they are so tender — they blend into all the other ingredients and add a wonderful texture to the dish!,I think I will make this again, and here’s why: I had a lot of substitutions and I’m still learning how to use my electric stove = I miss my gas stove! Anyway used olive oil for grapeseed oil, used tandoori masala spice, used onion instead of radish, orange pepper instead of red. None of that should have mattered, but I think I had my oil too hot and when I added the ginger and garlic, it splattered all over my stove, counter, cupboards, me. Now I know that liquid added to hot fat spatters, but this was phenomenal! So my spices were in a big clump once I added them to the exhausted eruption in my skillet. I think too much of the oil had left the pan – more was decorating my kitchen surfaces than remained in the pan. But it all worked out in the end. The cumin taste was a bit overpowering, but I think by tomorrow it will have tempered. This was an adventure! Thanks, Nancy
