I saute diced onion, garlic, carrot and celery in olive oil, then add my lentils and some chicken broth. Season with s&p, cumin and curry powder and cook until tender.
That's it. I keep lentils pretty simple but I gets wild with the black beans. |

That sounds good, but I don't have a recipe. When I find myself in this situation, I try to think about what flavors I'm looking for in the dish, and then build up from there. I made some very delicious beef bourguignon a couple weeks ago. I think the lentils would go well with that rich beefiness. Maybe lentils and short ribs? So I found this recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/t...ipe/index.html I guarantee that would be really good. |

I meant curry powder, actually. Depending on who you're cooking for, you might and just a bit of cayenne. I guess I like mine with a middle eastern flavor but lentils are versatile enough for any type of flavor. |

She's virtually Executive Chef material, I don't even really cook around her, I'm normally not intimidated in the kitchen, but her standards are so high - i just stay away, and I'm not a terrible cook, either. I cooked for 10+ yrs. lol |

I feel the need to mention this, though it has nothing to do w/ the OP - Next time you grill shrimp, try dusting heavily w/ cayenne - let it grill onto the surface of the fish, naturally you'll want to salt them as well, then proceed to brush w/ OO or butter, but it's odd, SOMETHING seems to happen when you grill or flame that particular seasoning (cayenne) It may be a chemical reaction, whatever it is, but it's loses it's 'hotness' factor and turns into a WONDERFUL little flavor addition to the finished grilled shrimp. My point is cayenne works awesomly on grilled shrimp, just a fast fact while we're discussing food yet again. |

FWIW - those tasty bites lentils - you can find at OTHER places aside from Costco - I just found two at Kroger, they were on special - but they'd be in the Ethnic foods aisle - If you hunt for that label, you'll be able to find them, yes even in Kansas
