Ingredients List
- 2 c Lentils; washed
- 2 lg Onions
- 5 Medium-large tomatoes -or-
- 7 Smaller ones (this
- -ingredient varies in
- -quantity)
- 3 tb Canola oil
- Water for boiling
- 3/4 ts Salt (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 ts Marjoram
- 1 1/2 ts Savory
- Quinoa; enough for amount of
- -servings
- Water
Directions
In a medium-large saucepan boil lentils in water for about 30 - 40 minutes
(or until thoroughly cooked). While these are cooking, chop onions and
tomatoes. In a very large skillet or pan, sautee onions until they are just
about cooked (mostly translucent). Add tomatoes and stir occasionally.
Crush the marjoram and savory in your palm and rub together to release the
flavor, and add to the pan. Add the salt. When it seems the tomatoes are
fairly stewy and cooked, add the cooked, well drained lentils (which by
this time should be done). Cook together for a few minutes to get an even
mixture.
To cook quinoa, boil two parts water to one part quinoa. Add grain
(supposedly you're supposed to rinse it, but I don't have a fine enough
colander, so I do without this step). Cover and lower to a simmer. Cook for
15 minutes. Stir and let sit covered off the heat for ten minutes before
serving.
This is a really good dish with steamed cauliflower and for a really neat
touch, try adding some cooked arame seaweed on top. Soak a handful of arame
in cold water (you don't need very much of this - a little goes a LONG way,
and it's very very dense in nutrition). In a small pan heat some oil and
add a couple cloves of chopped or pressed garlic, and a very small amount
of diced ginger (optional). Add drained and squeezed arame and sautee for a
few minutes. Add soy sauce to taste. When the arame becomes crispy it's
ready to eat. Just sprinkle on top of the stew, or any pasta dish for that
matter.
