One of our favorite recipes is from my good friend Byron Elton. It fits right in with the J.J. Virgin way of eating and is so delicious! Here's the recipe:
Serves 8
• 2 cups of red lentils, rinsed
• 8 cups of water or vegetable stock
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, finely chopped
• 1 tsp each of ground cumin, turmeric & paprika
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• Avocado and fresh lemon juice for garnish
Directions:
1. Wash lentils. Combine them with water or stock and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat
and simmer until lentils are tender. Seasonwith sea salt and pepper to taste. I like to use
four cups of water and four cups of vegetable stock.
2. Meanwhile, saute the onion, garlic, celery and carrots in the olive oil over a low heat until
transparent. Add the spices, stir thoroughly and add mixture to the lentils.
3. Add fresh lemon juice and avocado chunks just before serving.
4. Garnish with parsley, paprika and yogurt, if desired.
5. Say a blessing on the food and remember to credit Byron for the recipe
