Terris' Spicy Vegan Lentil Casserole

Lentils with Indian flavors

Most of the liquid will be absorbed by the lentils so this dish will be more of a cassole than a soup. This recipe yields 10-12 large bowls. Great for leftovers and lunch-at-work!

I started with this recipe.

Estimates:

Prep time: 30 mins, depending on whether you have help chopping
Cook time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp roasted paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp roasted chipotle powder 
  • 4 yellow potatoes
  • 6 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup dry lentils
  • 1 fresh jalapeño finely chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes - or add two more tomatoes
  • 1 large whole tomato
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 1 lb cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 lb broccoli florets, chopped
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Sautee the oil, garlic, and onions for 5 minutes in medium-low heat in pressure cooker (no pressure yet!)
  2. While that's happening, use a food processor to puree the tomatoes, jalapeño, and tomato paste
  3. Add all the things except broccoli to the pressure cooker
  4. Pressure cook under medium-high heat for 30 minutes. Dry lentils are tough!
  5. Turn off the heat and release the pressure
  6. Add broccoli
  7. Wait 5 more minutes with the lid on

Don’t make the mistake of too few potatoes! Add more!

Running 2560x1080 on LG 29UM57-P on an old MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan

Yes. A mid-2011 MacBook Pro running OSX El Capitan can drive a 2560x1080 monitor via HDMI. I was not able to get 60 Hz working. I am settling with 53 Hz. I tried many settings before finding something that works. The refresh rate seems fine to me. Maybe the text could be clearer but for a $200 monitor running this resolution, I'll take it. Apple MacBook 2015 retina resolution is 2560 x 1800. Consider buying a better monitor that may literally give you fewer headaches. Install  SwitchResX Follow the instructions for disabling SIP After rebooting, run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Custom Resolutions Click the + icon  Enter these settings  ( source ) Exit SwitchResX and save Reboot Run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Current Resolutions Select the 2560x1080, 53 Hz setting Enable SIP If you discover better settings, please leave a comment.
