Tomato-Lentil Curry Stew

INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 cups dry lentils
3 cups water
15 ounces stewed tomatoes
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons chopped onion
6 stalks celery, chopped, with leaves
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
9 cloves garlic, minced
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Combine lentils and water, bring to a boil.
Lower heat to simmer, add tomatoes, onion, and celery. Cover and let simmer 45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes to stir, and add water if necessary. Add spices last 15 minutes to taste. Taste and re-spice if necessary before serving.
I was just going to go looking for a recipe for lentil curry - what a coincidence!! Last night I tried my hand at eggplant curry and it was amazingly good. Best way I have ever had eggplant hands down.

Here's the recipe I based my version on - I sliced the eggplants in half and put them cut side down on a pam-sprayed foil lined cookie sheet and baked for about 30 minutes @ 425 degrees. The flesh of the eggplant slipped right out of the skin with the help of a tablespoon, and then I cut it into cubes. I also used fresh grated ginger and fresh crushed garlic - skipped the jalapeno because of the kids, but won't bother next time (they only ate the rice, papadums, and mango chutney I served with the curry). This will be a regular on our dinner table, that's for sure - very easy to prepare and so flavorful (and filling, thankfully!).

Oooh--tonight is mystery freezer entree! I made a dinner eons ago and then froze the leftovers. Now I can't remember what it is. Something with quinoa, I think.

I've been obsessed with Mexican food lately so I made enchiladas filled with queso fresco (soft, mild Mexican cheese) and topped with made-from-scratch enchilada sauce and a little monterey jack.

A quick and easy dinner for very little moola.

I sauteed garlic, celery, carrots, onion, and cauliflower in a bit of olive oil until onions were translucent. I then added a tablespoon of garam marsala, a teaspoon of tumeric, a half teaspoon of cumin, and a teaspoon of curry and stirred until fragrant.

I added a can of vegetarian lentil soup and heated it for about five minutes.

Quick, cheap, and very tasty.

We had a nice dinner of Tom yum kung (a Thai dish) made with silken tofu instead of prawns. My fading omni wife (who gets a little more veg every day) even remarked that she likes it better with tofu.
