Ingredients
about 5 strips of baconone large onion, chopped2 medium yellow squash sliceda head of napa cabbageabout 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder2 Cups dry lentilstotal of 5 Cups water
Cook the lentils in about 4 Cups of water until done to your liking. I prefer them relatively al dente, other prefer them mushier. Cooking time depends on your preference, somewhere around 20 - 30 minutes
Cook the bacon in a large-ish skillet, and remove when done to your liking. Leave enough of the melted bacon fat in the pan to keep the rest of the ingredients from sticking
Add the choppped onion, and cook until it starts to get translucent.
Add the squash, and stir as needed until the squash had just started to get barely tender.
Add the cabbage carefully, and wonder if it will all fit in the pan. Stir that with the other ingredients, and let it cook a bit while you add a tablespoon or so of arrowroot powder to some water. Stir until it's all dissolved. Add that to the pan, and stir until the liquid starts to thicken.
If the lentils are done, add them to the pan, and stir them in. Add more water if you prefer more liquid. Let it all simmer together until it looks done, and smells tasty. Add salt if it pleases you, I didn't, so added salt is not included in the nutritional information.
Makes about 6 servings.
