Ma Cusine Numéro Trois

I don't have pictures of this yet, because I can't get a good one.  But this weekend I made Spiced Lentil Tacos.  Delicious!

It's super easy to make - cut up some onion and garlic and saute it, add the lentils (after a good washing) with the taco seasoning and let it cook for about a minute.  Then add some vegetable broth, bring to a boil then let simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils are tender.  Voila! Lentil tacos.

Everyone knows lentils are super good for you.  But why?  It has 16 grams of fiber per cup.  The University of Colorado said that because it's high starch content one can cook 23% more fat over one day.  They are pretty packed with protein - 18 grams - and iron - 7mg.  (The Drop 10 Diet)  

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not studying The Drop 10 Diet to lose 10 pounds, but it's a good reference to understanding what you're eating.  

Lentil Tacos are pretty delish.  I highly recommend.  And I'll post a pic when I can make it pretty.  In the meantime, enjoy some pretty sheep!
