LENTIL VEGETABLE POTTAGE



Lentil Vegetable Pottage image

From "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" by Jeanne Marie Martin. I changed the recipe a little: less celery, more carrots, a little more salt. I don't use the onion, garlic or bell peppers, personal preference. The Homemade Boullion Cubes and Vegetable Broth Powder are recipes in the same book. They look time and labor intensive and I haven't made them yet - I skip them and put in the tamari. She suggests simmering the tamari to kill any yeast or mold in it, but I don't know why you would have to in this recipe, since the tamari is cooked for at least 15 minutes.

HILDEGARDE'S LENTIL POTTAGE (A CIVET)



Hildegarde's Lentil Pottage (A Civet) image

This yummy peri-oid stew is very practical for camping, as spoilage of the ingredients is not such a worry. It started as a recipe for mjudra (mujaddara, also known as koshary and khichri. In fact, there is a recipe for khichri in Cariadoc's miscellany from Ain i Akbari, a 16th century book written during the reign of the Moghul emperor Akbar). Mjudra is an ancient middle eastern dish, and often said to be the recipe for Esau's "mess of pottage". As I make it, however, it is no longer appropriate for Moslems, due to the smoked sausage. If you omit the sausage, use a vegetarian broth instead of a chicken broth, and margarine instead of butter, this is an excellent vegan dish. When made for a camping event, the first two steps (onion/cabbage and lentils) can be done ahead of time and stored in the cooler. The soup can then be made on a camp stove or over the camp fire. With 3 smoked sausages, this can serve more than a dozen hearty eaters.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your pottage a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic, cumin, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Serve hot: Lentil vegetable pottage is best served hot, with a side of bread or salad.

Conclusion:

Lentil vegetable pottage is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of pottage that the whole family will enjoy.
