Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[ROman]

Today my nephew made the best ribs I've ever had. A combination of St. Louis style ribs and baby back.

[Giles]

Had a few people around for dinner last night.  I needed to toss a lot of salad and do not have a large enough mixed bowl.

Needs must…...

Modified Temple Dhal….

This stage of the recipe calls for no chilli's,  but I have a penchant for hot,  and no curry leaves, but WTF....

[neph93]

And now I want dal….

[Giles]

Super simple and amazingly tasty considering the lack of effort required.

I have 7 different types of Dhal, and ring the changes, today I am using Green Speckled…..

[neph93]

Lovely, thank you. I will get onto it in the course of the week.

[Giles]

BTW.  I don't bother putting the lentils in the frying pan, I add the cooked chillis and cumin seeds to the big pan of lentils…..

[Giles]

Drying Chillis in the warming drawer….

Temple Dhal again  :)…....Green Speckled Lentils.....

Temple Dhal is Indian.  I also make Tarka Dhal, but I think Temple is tastier and easier (and I always have all the ingredients in stock)…..

Shall tell my wife about the temple Dahl and give it a go.

@Kasi I use whathever lentils I have in stock, but I have about 20kg of different types, so I'm very rarely struggling to find any.  Missing out the chopped Coriander in stage 4 (if I have none around) does not seem to matter a great deal…I often double up the recipe, so I have some for later

In my town there’s so many cash and carry. Never out of stock for lentils, I have been eating brown lentils Dahl all my life..

Full of protein..

Never come across green lentils, that a first for me..

Thanks for the tips Giles.

Gonna try the temple Dahl.. then again wife will then remix it trying new format of making it even more tasteful.

Green Speckled….

Lentil overflow storage 

[neph93]

I promised I’d make this last time you posted it, but didn’t get around to it. Going shopping today so I plan to make one this week….

Two things: the lentils available at the supermarket are pre soaked. I guess that makes no difference? Just cut down on the time used in step 1?

Secondly, does that make a main for 4-6 people?! I feel like it would need to be trebled to feed my ugly bunch.

[Giles]

It matters not how long you cook for within reason, I leave mine going for about an hour, you just need some bite to the lentils.

I'd double up for your mob 

[Giles]

Oh, and bunging some whole peeled hard-boiled eggs in a few minutes before serving, is delicious and bulks it up…..

[neph93]

I was thinking about having it as a side to some fried fish…

[Giles]

Erm, smoked…...
