Another thing I wanted to accomplish while making this dish is to use my Wildtree Memphis Dry Rub. I really like the flavor but wasn't going to use it as a 'rub' per say. BUT...that's one of the best things about Wildtree...multipurpose, multi-use! So I did just that...I used it in this dish!
I also like this dish because I only used just a few ingredients! Check it out...here's the recipe...
2/3 C Red Lentils (in About 2 C Water)
1/3 Corn
1 C Broccoli
2 teaspoons Wildtree Memphis Dry Rub
I also used use a little bit of Grapeseed Oil so it wouldn't stick but it's optional
Last night I was able to catch up on a few relaxing things such as thumbing thru some magazines and catching up on PodCasts that I watch on AppleTV from time to time. One of my favorites is Russell James - The Raw Chef.
Last night I watched the episode of him making Chia Porridge. He put a lot of Superfoods in his but they were all optional. I might try some of what he suggested, however, mainly because I have some of the items in my pantry. I'm not one to sit down with a HUGE bowl of Chia Porridge or Pudding mostly because of the texture of the gelled Chia. Sort of reminds me of Tapioca or Cavier/Fish Eggs...ewwww! BUT...what I have found is that I can put all the flavors together and then put it in a blender and have it more as a pudding than a porridge to break down the plumpy-gelled-seeds, if you know what I mean. I haven't tried this in a vitamix yet but it worked fine in my Ninja previously. So...my mini-goal is to try more Breakfast Chia Porridge Combos and Snacks more frequently.
This looks delicious! I love how few ingredients there are. The pudding sounds interesting as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This didn't last long in my house :) I have another one I will be posting today that you might like, too, that is, if you like Brussel Sprouts
DeleteI love lentils, most likely one of the first foods I try once I'm off my juice/raw foods only for Lent. I've seen a few of Russel James demonstrations on YouTube, peeked at his site a tone or twice also...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that he almost always has a smile on his face! He seems like a neat guy! I really like the food ideas I have seen from him so far :)
DeleteThe lentil dish looks amazing, perfect one pot meal with a simple ingredient list.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm TRYING to do more one pot meals and skillet meals, too! :)
DeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your lentil veggie mash photo I couldn't wait to check it out! Yummy! I also have a problem with the texture of chia so I usually add it to my smoothies and take it that way! The nutrients are worth it. Thank you so much for sharing these healthy tidbits with us at the Plant-Based Potluck Party Blog Hop! I appreciate it!
Thanks so much on the recipe feedback :) Also thanks for the heads-up on NOT being the only one with the texture problem :) LOL
DeleteMmmm I'm going to try you curry lentil dish. Sounds super delicious.
ReplyDeleteAs for chia pudding - I don't mind the texture, but I understand what you mean. It looks like you've tried blending it, that will help - it will help if you let it sit in the fridge overnight too - it makes it thicker.
Yup! I like it blended :) Thanks on the feedback for the lentil dish! Let me know if you do try it!
