Everyday Dal, my Doll! From Amy

It is very exciting to start this blog about our dinner club!

Last night I made a very simple dal that accompanied a stir fry (two different genres, I know) but is sounded good! It is so easy and soooo delish. This recipe makes alot! You can cut it in half easily.

2 c. split red lentils

4 tbls. ghee (or unsalted butter)

1 large onion diced

5 1/2 c. boiling water

salt to taste

In large saucepan over med/med high heat, melt butter and add onion. Stir occasionally but let the onions brown a bit on the bottom of the pan, really good flavor comes from that! Boil 6 cups of water in a separate pan or kettle. When onions are translucent and browned a little add boiling water and the lentils. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Cover with lid and let simmer for 15 min. It could be less or more time, just check it. It will be a giant pot of mush, as split dal cooks fast and does not retain it's shape very well. Add salt last when it is almost done. That's it!

Sausage and Kale Soup

12 oz sausage, pinched into small balls
1 yellow onion, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
4 red potatoes, cut into 1" cubes
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
8 cups broth or stock
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 bunch kale, destemed and chopped

Brown sausage in a large stock pot at medium heat. Add onion, and garlic, cook until onion is softened and sausage is cooked.

Add potatoes, cook for 3 minutes, add bell peppers, broth and seasoning. Add kale. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Enjoy!
