Oh, such a wonderful little lunch!
A veggie sandwich with homemade big bread and tofu mayo.
Sweet Couscous from the McDougall Diet online cookbook.
Lentil Dahl by Gellian McKeith's You Are What You Eat.
Lentil dahl with vegetables
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 cup of red split lentils per person
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground coriander
pinch of cayenne
½ a cauliflower
1 stalk of broccoli
½ a turnip
1 tsp garam masala
tamari
nori flakes
Put the lentils in a large pan with PLENTY of water. Bring to the boil and skim off any scum that appears.
Turn down the heat, add the spices, except the garam masala, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the chopped vegetables, tamari and garam masala and cook until the vegetables are soft.
Serve the dahl on top of the rice and sprinkle with nori flakes.
I obviously used brown lentils just fine and 1 cup makes a TON. If you want lots of leftovers, go ahead and double it! I also just used veggies at hand & no nori.
Sweet Couscous
Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup couscous
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 tablespoons brown sugar*
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Let rest for 3 minutes. Top with sliced bananas, if desired.

Oh man, this is so good! The contrasting tastes with steamed vegetables and the dahl on the side are amazing!

It's nearly time for bed and here I am salivating.
Look forward to trying some of the recipes-taco casserole tomorrow me thinks.
I love both dal and couscous. Looks like an awesome lunch!
