In my old neighborhood, there was an amazing takeout place where I'd get Thai curry vegetables on a pretty regular basis. I didn't think I could make it, or make it healthfully for that matter - until this morning. I played around with what I had on hand and came up with the following recipe for tonight's dinner, with plenty to freeze for later cravings.Submitted by: ABSINTHEMINDED

These aren't your traditional lentils. The wine and chicken base give this lentil soup a richer flavor while the herbs give it a nice, savory punch.Submitted by: JAZZLEBUG

This is a lovely, dark, meaty tasting dish without the meat!
This serves a crowd, with 9 generous half cup servings.

Try to find "French Green Lentils", as they are the best. I purchase mine at an organic grocery. If you cannot find those, then look for a small, roundish, green to brown lentil. Sometimes these are named just brown lentil. If you look closely however, there will be a greenish cast and these are much smaller and also more round than those you find in the one pound bags at the regular grocery store. These Lentils are so much better than those plain, flat, brown ones that you find everywhere. They take a little longer to cook, but are well worth the patience expended!Submitted by: DTCELLO

This is a great veggie main, and the lefotver rice makes great faux-meatballs if you use a glutinous rice to begin with. But it's great with any variety of long grain rice, so enjoy! In Egypt, this is also served with elbow macaroni mixed in, but I had it both ways when I was there and I find I prefer it without the pasta (it made it too heavy for my tastes). I've also used the tomato sauce as a pasta sauce before--it's a nice low-cal change of pace!Submitted by: DAMIENDUCKS

Adapted from a Rachel Ray recipe. Hers was made with chicken legs - roasted with the skin on. This one uses skinless/boneless chicken breast so you can cook it all on your cooktop instead of the oven - and I use less olive oil.
I used Isreali Couscous (I don't know if there is a difference) - it was the first time my family tried Couscous and they all loved it!Submitted by: NEENEE_BEANZ
