One of my favorite staples I have in the kitchen is lentils and I usually rely on a lentil dish if I’m not sure what to cook for dinner. Besides being very healthy, lentils are really versatile and can be served at any temperature, whether it’s a hot soup or a cold salad. This time I made a simple, hearty stew-like dish to ring in the fall season. I used French green lentils which hold their shape, cook a little longer and are more delicate than the common brown lentils. I seasoned the lentils and rice with homemade garam masala – an Indian mixed spice – and for a little kick, I added some chili powder but feel free to omit. Adding to the heartiness is healthy brown rice, but note that a little goes a long way so don’t use too much. Pair with an earthy red wine.

Lentils and Brown Rice Recipe. Recipe for Sausage and Lentils with Fried Sage. (Updated with better photos and added to Recipe Favorites, October 2011) I first made this comforting dish of Sausage and Lentils with Fried Sage back in 2006. That recipe definitely needed an update, so recently Jake and I made it again to take new photos and we also enjoyed eating it! The recipe was inspired by one in The Silver Spoon, a classic Italian cookbook that I think every serious cook should own. The addition of fried sage was my idea after seeing it on restaurant menus, and the fried sage was a wonderful addition to this dish. Sage is something I have growing abundantly for most of the year, and when you fry it the sage flavor intensifies just a bit as the leaves are transformed into crispy morsels of sage-flavored goodness.

But if you like Italian Sausage and Lentils but don't have fresh sage, this dish would still be very good without the sage. The lentils are simmered with a few vegetables and some chicken soup base for extra flavor. Instructions: South Beach Suggestions: Zucchini, Five Ways | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn.

A repeat offender in the lede-burier category, let me begin with what matters: this is absolutely my new favorite quick and obsessively delicious way to prepare mushrooms. And now, a story. Once upon a time, I was a vegetarian who loved going to steakhouses. A friends birthday would approach and out of kindness to me, they’d start talking about gathering friends at a restaurant that had vegetarian options and I’d beg them to go to a steakhouse instead. “It’s your birthday! I know you want a steak! You deserve a big fat juicy slab of steak,” I’d try to coerce. If only I knew the secret: escargot!

A few months ago when a friend requested I make mushrooms for an office potluck, I was instantly reminded of a recipe I had from my rounds at the city’s chic restaurants where the chefs demonstrate recipes, let you sample some and give you copies of the recipe. I loved going for these and making local foodie friends. Most places gave a bag of goodies and even spread out a buffet of the food demonstrated (much to my glee). At one such restaurant, I had the most delicious stuffed mushrooms topped with Danish mozzarella.

Full of flavour and distinctly garlicky – YUM! So as soon as mushrooms were requested, I went looking for my recipe file. I looked around the house and ended up finding it months later(today!)

Black Bean Burrito with Cilantro-Lime Rice. Remember that Eddie Murphy routine in “Raw” when he talks about how his mom promised to make him a burger that was “better than McDonald’s”?

On a beach vacation that already feels like it was too long ago, I tucked into the collection of letters between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto and realized I’d inadvertently brought on vacation with me the very best book ever for my current brand of mental unevenness.

Apparently, even the great Julia Child went a little insane writing her cookbook. She fretted over if varied and uneven ingredients would keep her recipes from working as she wanted them to in others’ kitchens and even had occasional bouts of frustration with her tiny, ill-equipped kitchens. And Julia is like my superhero! I was no less than 10 pages in when I already felt better about my choices, the work I had left, life itself, the universe at large… or perhaps it was just those no-good piña coladas and that blue-meets-blue horizon working their magic on me.

Nevertheless, I thanked Julia. I pined for it immediately. . * Amusingly, Alex and I had the exact same reaction when we were last in Paris. Serves 6. Lemon-Braised Artichokes.
