| Let's Open the Winter Recipe Box, Starting with Orange Split Lentil Soup | ||||||
In these cool, brisk days of winter, we have something to celebrate: the harvest. (Really!) While it's easy - and so wonderful - to relish the taste of a fresh tomato in the Ides of August, winter has it's glory, too. During this time of year, the foods at the farmers market slowly come into the season just like we do. We start our winter days by shedding our warm bed covers. A sweet potato emerges from deep within the earth. Farmers encourage their winter harvests through coverings, such as a high tunnel. We put on our own protective layers as we go out to experience the fresh winter air. Even in these shorter days of winter, it is a delicious time to awaken.
At DowntoEarthMarkets.com, we have a Recipe Box where every recipe is sourced from the farmers market and labeled by season. The winter bursts with the savory tastes of root vegetables, the crunch of greenhouse greens such as bok choy, and the robust flavor of mushrooms. Just to name a few. And here's one of our favorite winter recipes, by Rinku Bhattacharya of Cooking in Westchester. Enjoy - See you at the market! Orange Split Lentil Soup with Caramelized Onions and GreensCreated by Rinku BhattacharyaCourse: Appetizers & Soups Diet: Vegetarian Season(s): Fall, Winter Ingredients
Instructions
Place the lentils and 3 cups of water in a cooking pot on medium heat. Add the turmeric, salt, and green chilies and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to low and continue cooking about 20 minutes, until the lentils are soft and smooth. The liquid should be smooth and soupy. Stir in the greens and let them wilt. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small wok on medium-low heat for about 1 minute until fairly hot. Add the onion and cook until crisp and golden. This process takes some time and needs care during the final 5 minutes to ensure that the onions brown but do not burn. Gently pour the oil and onions into the lentils. Add the ghee and cook until the Ghee or butter has melted into the lentils. Serve in bowls with a tablespoon of yogurt garnished with mint or cilantro. | ||||||
