I'm finally starting to get some use out of that crock pot I picked up at a donation resale shop. At first, I had no idea how to make vegetarian meals in that thing. I remember using one only for pot roasts in the past. Well, those days are long gone for me, so I've been searching around for ways to use it more to my veggie liking. Honestly, this was one of the quickest meals I've ever made, and it lasted us for at least 2 dinners and 3 lunches.
Ingredients:
* 1 c. red lentils
* 4 c. water
* 1 veggie bouillon cube
* 1 small diced onion
* 2-3 cloves garlic
* 1 large diced carrot
* spices (unmeasured): cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, garam masala
I started with the lentils and water cooking for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then I simply, added the rest of the ingredients, and voila, a soup was formed. Throwing it in the blender at the end would probably make it even yummier, but I never quite got around to that!
Tip: We usually ate it with some diced up greens (kale, spinach, or collards) added in when reheating.
