Everyone needs mashed potatoes in their lives. I'm sure Jesus is with me on this one. Since potatoes are not leaky gut friendly I found a fan-tas-tic replacement while attempting to cook lentils. One night I left them on the stove too long and accidentally turned them into mush....And this mush was as good as mash. You're Welcome!
Like the rest of my bases I make the whole package and store the rest in the fridge to save time. This recipe is only for a third of the package. If you make the entire package make sure to triple the ingredients.
Serves: 4
Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 Cup Red Lentils (Trader Joe's Package)
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Salt (I use Himalayan Sea Salt)
2.5 Cups Broth (I usually use chicken, but any type will do)
1 tbsp olive oil
Get Cooking:
In a medium/large saucepan pour a tablespoon of olive oil and turn on the burner to medium heat. Pour in the lentils and stir to coat (1 to 2 minutes). Add your broth. Cover and wait for the mixture to boil. When it boils remove the lid and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15-25 minutes watching to make sure it doesn't burn. Stirring isn't necessary. When your lentils have completely lost their form and now look like mush (yes, this is a good thing) you have succeeded. Add salt and garlic powder to taste. Use as a base for whatever!
