This is one of those miracle condiments- totally versatile,
tasty as can be and yes, it’s good for you!

Pebre

One generous handful ( small bushel even)
each of cilantro and parsely
1/4 onion ( your choice, all are good)
clove or two of garlic
1/4 cup olive oil or grapeseed oil
one teaspoon chile ( I like to use a green salsa)
1/8 cup or so apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Whirl these happy ingredients up and
enjoy!
Pop the pebre into a jar and keep in the fridge for
up to two weeks- but it won’t last that long!

Brenda’s Yellow (moong) Dal

(Thanks, Brenda!!)

Ingredients:

1 cup moong dal (yellow lentils)
6 cups water
1.5 tsp. salt
1 tsp. turmeric

Method:

Wash the lentils well and pick over for small stones.
Place lentils in a deep pot. Add 6 cups water, salt and turmeric.
Cover partly, bring to a small boil with lid partly on. Once boiling, cook for 20 minutes. Lentils will foam, this is ok, don’t let lentils boil over. Turn off heat.

Masala for Dal

Ingredients:

1/4 cup veg oil
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp green cardamom (seeds only, not full pods)
1 med. onion finely chopped
1/2 cup tomatoes chopped finely, tinned are ok
1 inch fresh ginger peeled and grated, add more if your like ginger
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) (it was not in the dal I brought to class)

Masala Method
While lentils cook, prepare the following:
Heat a large heavy skillet, add oil, heat 1 minute, add coriander, cumin and cardamom.
Let spices sizzle and roast for abt one minute, don’t let them burn.
Turn down heat to med and add chopped onion, cook for 7 minutes until onion is soft.
Add tomatoes, ginger and cayenne (optional) and cook for 5 minutes further.
Add masala to lentils, heat for 5 minutes. Be sure to get all the masala out of the skillet into the lentil mix.

Serve hot in bowls or over rice. Can be frozen.

In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy.

Gradually beat in four mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts,
