Lentil Sprouts

09:59, Friday 21 November 2008 .. Posted in In the Kitchen .. 1 comments .. Link

Last week I tried to sprout some lentils, and on Wednesday night we ate them for as part of our supper.

I'd never done this before, nor had I ever eaten any sprouts before, so I was just going on the written instructions in various places on the web. I was a bit surprised that more of them didn't grow proper sprouts, but I think maybe I was a bit to vigorous with the rinsing and may have broken the sprouts off. They all tasted sprouted, anyway (according to my husband, who has eaten them before).

I found a recipe for a salad that said to mix it with grapefruit and cover with dressing and cashew nuts. I used tinned pineapple because we don't have any grapefruit.

G liked it, and I thought it was okay. I managed quite well for something so unfamiliar. I think I could learn to like this in time - although I might omit the dressing from my portion in the future.

Neither of us have suffered any ill-effects from eating it, so I guess the lentils were alright. I was a little concerned that we shouldn't eat them because they didn't look properly sprouted like the pictures on the web, but we seem to be fine after all.

I have eaten other sprouts but never lentils. I have lots of them so maybe I will try it.

About Me

Hello! I'm Jo, I'm 27 and I live in a small house in England with my husband. I work full time in an office, and in my spare time I help out with Sunday school and the church youth group. When I have time, I enjoy reading, cookery and crafts, and a bit of gardening. We don't have any kids, but would really love to have some one day. Thanks for visiting me here!

Some words are different in England and America, so if you're American and I use an unfamiliar word, it might be in my little dictionary
