Red Lentils with Raita and Honey
Almond Green Sauce
This recipe comes to us via one of our favorite customers, Tina Wingate. She found this recipe in the New York Times and passed it on to me this winter. I’ve tweaked it a bit and
added Winds condiments. The red lentils are seasoned with carrots, cumin, cilantro and lemon making a brightly flavored spring dish. Served with rice, raita, almond green sauce and steamed greens.
