1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | pounds | Dried lentils |
| ½ | cup | Veg. stock (Note: recipe called for 3 bouillon cubes + 1/2 c. water, but I am going with 1/2 c. stock + cooking the lentils in stock, too. You may, therefore, do it their way or you may want to prepare yourself to salt at the table.) |
| ⅓ | cup | Apple cider |
| ¼ | cup | Apple cider vinegar |
| 1½ | tablespoon | Sugar type stuff |
| 1 | tablespoon | Molasses |
| ⅛ | teaspoon | Ground cloves |
| 2 | Bay leaves | |
| 1 | tablespoon | Chopped scallions |
| 1 | dash | (or more) cayenne |
| Chopped fresh ginger, to taste (it's not in the original recipe, but I add it to nearly everything I cook; I probably added 1-2 heaping tablespoons to this recipe) | ||
| Salt | ||
