Savory Red Lentils

Made for dinner:

1 cup red lentils (picked through)
1 onion
1 Tbsp. minced garlic (many many cloves)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. savory
1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 cups water

Saute chopped onion and garlic in water (of course) for several
minutes. Rinse red lentils (mine always have bug carcasses in ’em, so
it’s a good idea that you do so), and add with the rest of the
ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Uncover and cook for a few minutes more – 5 or so if you want to.
This last step is not mandatory, but I didn’t use enough water (only 1
1/2 cups), so I added 1/2 cup more and let it mix for a couple of
minutes.

Slop this up with some good fresh bread. I had some French Meadow
Summer Bread – basil flavor. I warmed a chunk up in the microwave.

Title: MONGOLIAN HOT POT
Categories: Oriental, Main dish
Yield: 6 servings

3 lb Boneless lean lamb
4 oz Bean thread noodles
1/2 lb Spinach
1/2 lb Chinese cabbage
1 qt Chicken stock
1 ts Finely chopped ginger root
2 tb Finely chopped scallions
1 ts Minced garlic
1 tb Finely chopped cilantro

———————–DIPPING SAUCE———————–
2 tb Sesame paste
-=OR=- peanut butter
1 tb Light soy sauce
1 tb Rice wine or dry sherry
2 ts Chili bean sauce
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Hot water

USING A CLEAVER or sharp knife, slice the lamb into
very thin slices. Soak the noodles in warm water for 5
minutes, then drain them and cut them into 5-inch
lengths. Separate the spinach leaves from the stalks
and wash them well. Discard the stalks. Cut the
Chinese cabbage into 3-inch pieces. Combine all the
ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl and
mix them well. Each guest should have his or her own
small portion of dipping sauce and a plate containing
lamb, spinach and Chinese cabbage. When you are ready
to begin, bring the stock to a boil and light the
fondue. Ladle the stock into the fondue pot and put
the ginger, scallions, garlic and coriander into the
stock. Each person selects a piece of food and cooks
it quickly in the pot. When all the meat and
vegetables have been eaten, add the noodles to the
pot, let them heat through, then ladle the soup into
soup bowls. This dish also works successfully with
other foods such as steak, fish balls, oysters,
shrimp, squid, mushrooms and lettuce, although it will
no longer be a Mongolian Hot Pot, but more like the
Cantonese Chrysanthemum Pot.

Yield: 1 servings

1 tablespoon dry hot chiles, crushed
1 fifth Vodka

Directions: Put the chiles in the vodka. Let it set for at least a
week, then strain off. Put the bottle in the freezer. Because of

is great in bloody marys,and in the folllowing pasta recipe, too.

Pasta and Vodka 1 1/2 lbs your choice of pasta 7 tbs butter 1 tsp hot
red pepper flakes 1 cup pepper vodka 1 cup fresh peeled tomatoes (cut
up fine) 1 cup heavy cream 1 tsp salt 1 cup fresh grated parmesan

pepper and vodka, tomatoes and cream. Simmer five minutes or so. Add
salt. Drain pasta, put it in the pan with the sauce, stir the
parmesian in, mix thoroughly (over low heat) and serve.
