Cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the energy.


Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.

8 oz Green lentils

2 oz Margarine

1 Onion, finely chopped

1 Carrot, chopped

1 Green bell pepper, diced

2 Garlic cloves, crushed

1/4 ts Cayenne

1/2 ts Coriander

2 oz Breadcrumbs

---Yogurt sauce Oil for frying 1/2 pt Yogurt

2 tb Parsley

1 tb Chives

1 Garlic clove, crushed

1/4 ts Cumin

Lemon juice Salt & pepper to taste Put lentils & hot water into a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer, covered for 30 minutes. Heat margarine in a skillet, add onion & cook for 2 minutes. Add carrot & pepper & cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spices, paste, salt & pepper. Mix together well.Then stir in lentils & let cool. Mix in parsley. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions & shape into rounds. Coat them in combined breadcrumbs & oats (oats may have to be blended to resemble fine breadcrumbs). Shallow fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain well. For the yogurt sauce, combine all the ingredients & chill till ready to serve. I find that I do not need to roll the rissoles in egg, though the recipe calls for it. "Entertaining with Cranks"
