Recipe Introduction


I want to try this with the butternut squash pastry recipe, also in my vegetarian cookery section. I'd like to lighten it up a bit with fewer brazil nuts but am not sure the nutritional trade-off is worth it. Brazil nuts are the motherlode for certain vitamins/minerals!

List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups lentils uncooked
3 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 each celery stalk chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
3/4 cup brazil nuts finely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce, tamari
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 each pie shell (9 inch) whole wheat, double crust, unbaked


Recipe



Wash the lentils and place them in a pan with the water.

Cover and cook for about 40 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

Heat the oil in a skillet; add the celery, onion, thyme, cinnamon, and cloves.

Saute until the celery is just barely tender.

Add the cooked lentils to the celery-onion mixture; then add the remaining ingredients.

Mix well.

Spread the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.

Cover with the top crust.

Flute the edges and cut a hole into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
