Lavender Lentils

November 21, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

So many Thanksgiving articles dismiss anything not turkey as a side dish. To me, vegetables are always the main event, like this lavender lentil recipe. It’s plantbased, protein-packed, luxe on the plate and the palate, easy on the chef. Not only is it fancy enough for parties, it’s a make-ahead, too.  No wonder lavender lentils…

A Cheer for Chana Masala

June 27, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

It’s monsoon season in India, rainy season in Miami. I’m saying it’s really wet. Chana masala is just the ticket. Chana masala, or curried chickpeas, is high in protein and fiber, big in flavor, and naturally plantbased. It’s a standard on Indian takeaway menus, but chana masala is also a snap to make at home…
