Lentils 'N Dumplings
Three kinds of lentils stewed with spices, beets, and greens. Hearty little mung bean dumplings with caramelized onions, cilantro, and (seeded!) jalapenos, drizzled with lime coconut cream. Serious flavor, the kind of meal that will power you through a day. Servings: 2-3 per 2 lb casserole.
