A delicious but very unconventional stir-fry , suitable for vegans, delicious over rice (in a main dish) ...in a pita...or plain (as a side dish). Only use a high quality (and REAL) soy sauce. It REALLY makes a difference.
Ingredients:
2 cups lentils (yellow or green)
4 cups water
3 -4 large leeks, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 -3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions:
1. Put water and lentils in a pot, bring to a boil then cover and simmer until liquid is gone. In other words; cook lentils.
2. In a deep skillet, saute leeks and garlic until glassy in either olive oil (vegan) or butter (dairy, vegetarian).
3. Add soy sauce and continue cooking over heat for two to three minutes.
4. Add sesame seeds, basil and oregano, cook together (stir fry) for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
5. Add cooked lentils and toss/mix.
6. Serve and enjoy.
