Green Lentil Meal
Hello Dear Friends,
It is one of the most cooked meals at home, especially in the winter months. green lentils. I remember like it was yesterday that my late grandmother always cooked it in my childhood and didn't add it to it just because I don't like ground meat at dinner.
At our house salad, stew, lentils with noodles Although soup is made, I think it has been cooked once or twice since I got married, so I haven't added it to my blog until now. Green lentils, usually black lightning It is a legume dish called (without carrots and potatoes) and which men do not like very much. However, you can also add some yogurt and pickle supplements. bulgur pilaf or with wheat rice You can fool yourself and set up a great dinner table.
There is an important point when cooking green lentils, and that is to soak them in water the night before and drain and rinse before cooking. In this way, it is not heavy and does not cause gas. Although some of them are boiled in the preliminary preparation, if I am going to cook their food, I do not boil it and add the lentils that I have directly filtered to the ingredients I have roasted.
While cooking, I recommend adding 1-2 cloves of garlic, if you have it, you can add 1 stalk of celery.
Love…
