    List of Ingredients

    Lentil And Cod Chowder


    1 cup dried lentils
    1 pound cod fillet, cut 1" squares
    Lots of diced vegetables, carrots, potatoes, celery, green beans, tomatoes
    1/4 cup orange juice
    2 tablespoons sunflower or green olive oil
    1 tablespoon dried parsley
    1 bay leaf
    1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon thyme
    1/8 teaspoon tarragon


    Recipe

    Place the lentils and 5 cups of cold water into a slow cooker (about 4 quart or 4 litre size) or crock pot. Cook on low overnight.

    At breakfast, add the spices, oil, and enough vegetables to fill the pot to no closer than 3 inches below the top. Then add enough cold water to cover everything, plus 1/2 inch. Cook on low for 5 hours.

    Add the fish (the fish should be completely immersed in the liquid), and then cook on low for another 4 to 5 hours.
    A few minutes before serving, remove the bay leaf and mix in the orange juice. Serve with salad and whole grain bread.

    Variatns: Substitute haddock, pollock, hake, cusk, clams, or lean back bacon (diced) for some or all of the cod. Back bacon should be put in the slow cooker in step #2, at the same time as the vegetables.

    Makes 6 servings.
