Both of those recipes sound wonderful! I'll have to try them. Thanks!
I went ahead and made a soup with some of my lentils. (I still have about a cup left to play with later.) I soaked the lentils overnight, then cooked them until tender and drained. I then pureed up some onion, serrano chile, garlic, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, smoked paprika, sea salt, turmeric, corriander and cumin, along with some tomato sauce and about 3/4 of the lentils. I poured the mixture into the cooked lentils and simmered it down until hot and creamy, then added the unpureed lentils for some texture. To serve, I ladled it into a big, flat bowl and drizzled some cashew yogurt over the top. I ate it for breakfast...so good! (For anyone on WW, it's zero points..a big fat 0!)
