Seems like something that is big in Indian and SE Asian cuisine for curries. So it would be interesting to try for sure. Yeah, very popular in Indian food, middle eastern food, and islander food. They're beans. They taste similar to other beans. There are three kinds (commonly, at least, there might be more): brown/green, orange/red, and black. The recipe I posted is for red/orange lentils, which are a little milder and sweeter in flavor than the other two. For lentil soup, or lentils cooked with stew meat like a pot of beans, I'd recommend green/brown lentils. All but black are easily findable in most grocery stores. Black lentils are fancier and pricier. I don't remember them tasting much different than brown/green. When you cook them, they only take about 20 minutes if you want them to stay firm. If you want them to break down more like split peas, then just add like 5 more minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Tried making my mother’s cornbeef brisket tonight and failed miserably. The cake I made worked out much better. Original recipe was an almond cake from Milk Street, but being slightly allergic to almonds, I replaced the almond flour with tigernut flour and the almonds on top with walnuts. Delicious. Would try again with other nut flours in the future. https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/spanish-almond-cake-tarta-de-santiago Edited March 13, 2021 by Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of using the nut flour is to flavor the cake, so if you skip that, I wouldn’t bother making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed you talking about weight loss and have you ever thought to use ground turkey in your chili?? I made that switch a long while ago and will never look back. I also will never not add Chorizo either but that won't help w/ any weight loss. I made an enchilada inspired chili earlier this year w/ nothing more than my own thoughts and it was probably the best chili I've ever made. I enjoy chili waaaay too much. I like what you have going on up there and might toss in those ingredients next year when it's cold enough to warrant cooking chili. I can't do 3 hours though lol. > 8 at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I calorie count so I can for the most part eat what I want as long as the unhealthier stuff isn’t overindulged and my job is pretty physical so it offsets using less healthy meats in chili and stuff. Also I went like a month of eating nothing but ground turkey and don’t think I’ll go back to it anytime soon lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a favorite at my house. Sometimes we will substitute shrimp for it since my family loves seafood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat cereal every morning, a pb&j every lunch and then soup for dinner. I tried more traditional diets but couldn’t stick with them cause I always felt hungry. tonight I made a shrimp and crab tomato bisque that is so bomb. 4 diced tomatoes, garlic minced, shrimp, heavy whipping cream, crab, basil, tomato paste, rosé wine. It’s not complicated at all but it’s so damn good.

I was kicking myself cause I wanted to make these a little while ago and found I didn’t write down my recipe literally anywhere in my notes or anything. Lo and behold it’s right here lol. Just not the dimensions but that’ll be easy enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
