Easy too. I put some in the freezer, and it re-heated perfectly. Great with grains and roasted veggies. Thanks for the recipe. I made this and it turned out great. Easy too.

It is a foodie paradise and cheap and oh so close to Manhattan - skyline views are terrific! Due to ethnic diversity of the neighborhood the food and produce selection is out of this world. (4 types of dandelion greens in the spring, anyone?) Apartment rentals give you more space for less money, and it's quiet - lots of trees and gardens. An abundance of train lines are available (R, N, W, E, V, G, 7) and lower buildings give you skyscapes beyond compare. My only complaint is a dearth of bookstores, but culturally we have PS1, Socrates Sculpture Park, Noguchi Museum & Garden, and more. Anyway, thank you for the recipes and food chatter!

This time I used fresh tomatoes and red lentils (just because these were what I had). Red lentils cook faster, which left the carrots still a little crunchy, and the fresh tomatoes gave a fresh taste, so even with these changes, it turned out very well. Thanks, Deb.

Obviously vegetarians can just use veggie stock, but it can be frustrating to see people list recipes that call for animal flesh and then call it vegetarian.

Also, very healthy (low in calories & fat, & high in fiber). I had the leftovers cold for lunch today - like a great lentil salad! The hubby liked it too & even declared it good enough for dinner (w/o meat - a major milestone).

This was so yummy - it felt healthy and filling. Thanks! Also, I agree that the Barefoot Contessa is fantastic. She got me over my childhood aversion to Brussels Sprouts!
