Something new for the tastebuds....I decided to try out a "comfort food" recipie from "Jerusalem," one of Ottolenghi's latest I found at the library. Mostly lentils and rice, with these amazing fried onions on top which made the dish. I told C it was "beans and rice" since that's one of her favorites. She said she didn't quite believe me. She was right to be skeptical! The flavor profile to this food is completely different of course, and may require some thoughtful planning, on the cook's part. It forces me to remember, as much as I would like to go gung-ho into this new cuisine, (new to me, that is,), one has to remember one's audience! So tomorrow may be chicken and dumplings, or a more familiar version of comfort food! I would serve it again, tho. Very yummy! It took awhile to fry all the onions, though. That was the most laborious part.
Menu: Ottolenghi's rice and lentils, sautéed kale, grated carrots with vinagrette.
