Lentils 'N Dumplings
Three kinds of lentils stewed with spices in a tomato and tamarind broth. Seasonal veggies: Broccoli, cauliflower, roasted Spring onions and escarole. 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.
