Curried Carrots & Lentils
(adapted from _The New Basics_)
1/2 C dried red lentils
1-1/2 C water
3 carrots, peeled & cut into 2" pieces
1/2 C chopped onion
1/4 C golden raisins
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
black pepper, to taste
(I'd normally dry-roast the curry & fennel ahead of time,
but that would take away from the ease of the dish)
Combine lentils & 1/2 C water in a 2-qt microwave-safe
casserole. Nuke at full power, covered, for 5 minutes.
(If water foams and spills over, add 1-2 Tb more water.)
Stir in carrots & another 1/2 C water; cover, and nuke for
5 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 C water and all the remaining ingredients;
cover, & nuke for 5 minutes. Serve. (Intended for 650-700
watt microwave; cook longer if yours is less powerful.)
