    I loooove chopped liver from the deli and paté.
    My Bf's vegan and has never liked it, even before his vegetarianism.

    I made this mock chicken liver spread which is made from lentils and after a small sample, he wouldn't have any of it, because it looked and tasted so real! LOL
    More for me. :D

    Mock liver made with lentils-that is something to try and to see if anyone figures it is mock!

    Leafing through my food magazine clippings binder last night-found a few lentil recipes. Let's see if the search engines can produce them!

    http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...il-salsa-10408

    http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...eef-chili-2733

    Struck out on three recipes. Will see if I can post them later.

    Well it's like this. Green lentils are yellow inside and brown lentils are red inside.

    You can substitute any kind of peeled (yellow, red) lentil for each other but as for the ones with the skin on: there is a big difference in types and you need to make sure you get the right ones. Some cook up really sandy (big flat green ones) while the smaller rounder ones tend to be chewier and a tad smoother. Brown lentils like masoor dal have a really meatlike chew, as does the French blue-green type, Puy lentils (which you can get Canada-grown anyway).

    I grew up on the sandy flat green lentils and hate them now I far prefer skin on brown masoor dal as my go-to lentil.

    Get pulsing

    If you’re a lentil lover, it’s time to celebrate: the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has dubbed 2016 the International Year of the Pulse. No idea what a pulse is? You probably do without realizing it: Pulses are the edible portion of leguminous crops, like lentils, red and black beans, and chick peas (exceptions are legumes that are harvested while still green, like peas and green beans — they are considered vegetables).
    http://www.thestar.com/life/health_w...ple-steps.html

    Did not know we are in the Year of the Pulse!
    @heartgirl99 -I've heard of the black turtle beans but am not familiar with them (unless they were in the former PC Mexican pasta boxes that featured beans along with radiattore pasta).

    Novelty factor: recipe using celery, maple syrup and lentils! Since March seems to open the door to uses for maple syrup, I thought this might interest the pantry surprise SCers in trying celery and lentils together.

    Aside from the beet preparation, the cake sounds better than a red velvet one to me. Plus, chocolate! Coffee for extra oomph.

    No, I have not made this recipe. But I should!

    Found a lentil salad recipe that may interest the fall vegetable lovers on Smart Canucks!

    From the October 2011 Whole Living issue, Nourish-The Healthy Kitchen column (you may find videos but not recipe links at wholeliving.com/healthy-dinner):


    Mix it up-You can swap any fall veggie-brussel sprouts, turnips or cabbage--into this warm salad. Just make sure you cut everything to about the same size for even roasting. Oh, and don't skip the celery leaves. They may seem delicate, but they pack a lot of flavor.
    Roasted Fall Vegetables with Lentils (serves 4; author wanted salads with protein).

    1/2 lb carrots, halved lengthwise
    1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
    1 small acorn squash, halved, seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch slices
    5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    1/2 cup dried French green lentils, rinsed
    1 shallot, halved
    4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
    1 tsp. Dijon mustard
    1 stalk celery, thinly sliced plus leaves

    1. Heat oven to 425'. On two baking sheets, arrange carrots, onion, and squash; drizzle with 2 Tbsp oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until caramelized and tender, about 30 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, place lentils and shallot in a medium saucepan and cover with water by two inches. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; discard shallot. Season with salt and pepper.
    3. Combine vinegar and mustard. Pour remaining 3 Tbsp oil in a slow and steady stream, whisking constantly. Toss lentils and celery with vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Spoon over roast vegetables. Garnish with celery leaves.

    Per serving: 333 cals; 18g fat (3g sat fat); 0 mg chol; 38g carbs; 154 mg sodium; 9 g protein, 7g fiber

    (I don't like shallots or specialty vinegars so I'll skip the shallot and use regular white vinegar and whatever mustard is at home. Plus my usual red or green lentils (they'll be mushy but French lentils from volcanic regions retain their shape after cooking).
