Amount Ingredient
1 tbl sesame seeds
1 cup diagonally sliced peeled carrots
2 cup broccoli florets
1 cup half-inch cubes yellow squash
1 cup trimmed snow peas
2 tbl vegetable oil
1/2 cup half-inch pieces red bell peppers
1 tbl finely chopped garlic
1 tbl finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cup cooked lentils (brown or green)
(dried lentils triple in volume when cooked)
1/2 cup scallions thinly sliced
3 tbl soy sauce
Instructions:
Instructions: Toast seeds in a small skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute.

Set up a vegetable steaming basket over boiling water and add carrots, broccoli, yellow squash, and snow peas. Cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water to stop the cooking.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, pepper flakes (optional). Cook, stirring, until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add the steamed vegetables along with cooked lentils, scallions, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. Cook, stirring, just until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Cooking: Beans and Tofu (p. 86)"

NOTES : Lentils are used in this recipe much as plain cooked rice would be used in fried rice or in a skillet dish of rice heated with vegetables. Serve over rice for a meatless dinner.

This sounds heavy but its not. Its a stir fry of fresh veggies garnished with lentils and sesame seeds.
