Lamb and Soaked Lentils

Thanks for checking back at Pure Homemaking, I hope you make yourself at home!

This dish was so appreciated after a long day; I just wanted to curl up with my kiddos and relax without spending over an hour in the kitchen trying to make them something healthful. I wanted something easy but also very comfort food-ish without spending all day preparing it. With a little forethought this is a very effortless meal to prepare that even your little ones will enjoy.

I will admit that I have never honestly cooked with coriander and fenugreek before and I’m really not sure why. I have only ever seen them in a couple of recipes and it’s a shame. They bring a certain mellowness to the dish that is really hard to describe unless you try it yourself. I wasn’t sure how much to use them so I didn’t measure the amounts and rather just sprinkled it in. If I had to guess I would say around 1/4-1/2 of  a tsp. Feel free to experiment starting with less and them build from there. Your mouth will thank you! [Read more...]

And I cooked the potatoes in the same braiser and they were fantastic. Plus it was only one dish I had to use. After that, I just made a quick gravy with red wine that really added to the flavor of the whole dish.  It sounds more complicated than it really is. [Read more...]
