lentils and leeks
I’d made lentils and leeks once before, but couldn’t remember what I thought of it when I made it for the second time last night. That in itself says something, as this was not a memorable recipe. It had a lot of things going for it: ease of preparation, healthiness. And it’s not like it was altogether terrible. I like lentils, I like leeks. But it was mushy and soupy, a little bland, and rather boring overall. For whatever reason—I think it was because of the gooshy cooked carrots and the soft leeks—the taste of this reminded me of the pot roast Mom used to make in her slow cooker. I didn’t like pot roast, so that’s probably why I didn’t care for lentils and leeks.
Eating this with the spicy bulgur improved things somewhat, though. I think I can forgive Goldstein her obsession with cayenne pepper, as something was definitely needed to pep up this soggy dish.
