Fun with Lentils

The lentil has become one of my favorite foods, today I did something rather nice with them

Red lentils with Spinich
1/2 a small onion diced,
1/2 cup red lentils
Splash Garlic Oil
Chunk of Frozen Spinich
Seeded Mustard, Pesto and Sun dried Tomatos
3/4 cup water
Some rice mix

Microwave the oil (COVERED!) for 20s
add the onion microwave for about 2:00

Add everything else, stir well.
Microwave for about 6:00 uncovered

Stir well, cover for 3-4 more minutes

I like to microwave everything on a paper towel to catch any mess that may happen

Fish with Sun Dried tomatoes and olive paste

One of the problems I have is that I live in Israel and my Hebrew is not very good. So I sometimes end up buying the wrong thing, when I don't bother to parse out a label. I had intended to get Pesto but ended up with Olive Paste from the store. Well olives have a lot of flavor and I like them, so I mixed it with Sun Dried Tomatoes and spread it over the fish. (Same fish as last time) and let it sit for about an hour in the fridge.

2:30 in the microwave, it came out great.

Steamed Broccoli

Turns out that frozen Broccoli steams very well, with a bit of water and 4 minutes on high, it comes out bright green and not at all mushy. I added a spash of soy sauce as well.

Microwave Talapia

I have been buying a frozen Talapia at the local supermarket near my office. These tend to run about 6-7NIS per piece and 1 piece is about right for lunch for me.  I tend to marinade it for about 5 minutes before cooking with Soy Sauce and some garlic oil (not much) and then microwave for 2-3 minutes.  I may try to add some Wasaabi powder as well. I tend to eat with rice, but will probably swap that out for steamed veggies in the next few days, or at least go with brown rice
