Yo, Crabby!<br /><br />1 lb. bag of dried lentils.<br />Celery<br />Spanish yellow onions.<br />Carrots.<br /><br />Make about 6 cups of court bullion by simmering 2 large or 4 small onions, 2 or 3 cloves garlic and 2 stalks of celery (all diced) in 6 cups water for about an hour. Salt and pepper to taste. Strain. Discard the veggies.<br /><br />Add about 1-1/2 pound sliced carrots and the lentils. 1 Tbs. Liquid Smoke (hickory or mesquite. I like the mesquite) 2 Tbs teriyaki sauce. Optional: 1/8 tsp Tabasco.<br /><br />Simmer until carrots and lentils are tender.<br /><br />Enjoy.

I'm guessing the canadian bacon is sufficiently cured to be added as is. Just my guess thou, kinda like ham.

Cover pan and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add the tomatoes andbreak them up with a spoon (or use diced tomatoes), add the vinegar and simmer 30 min. longer. Taste, add more salt, spices etc. to please you. Makes about 10 servings.<br /><br />Spicy Red Lentil Soup<br /><br />2 tablespoons oil<br />1 medium onion, finely chopped <br />1 teaspoon ground cumin (fresh)<br />1 teaspoon ground coriander (fresh)<br />1/4 teaspoon ground allspice<br />2 garlic cloves, crushed<br />1lb 2oz red lentils<br />5-6 cups vegetable stock<br />1/3 cup plain yoghourt<br /><br />Heat the oil in a heavey pan.

Pour in the stock and stir well. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered for 30 min.<br />Add a little more vegetable stock if you prefer a thinner soup and serve with a dollop of yoghourt on top.<br /><br />I have another one too if you want it.

south beach is glycemic index based (curiously, spaghtti ranks fairly low on the glycemic index, but its carb dense... tread lightly)<br /><br />carrots are a little high, but green peppers are freebies, try them instead ( a few carrots wont hurt, just dont go nuts)<br /><br />on a semi related note, turnips are a great potato alternative, mashed, diced into stew, or baked as oven fries<br /><br />I think Ill make a pot of lentil soup too, I like to throw barley into it and some black beans (soaked from dry, no canned crap)<br /><br />keep on it crabbie, its good stuff!
