My introduction to Mofo is to be neither glamorous or is it to be a gastronomic gallop into a month of blogging EVERY DAY with vegan recipes. You see, I am at the end of a 30 day trip in Berlin, Germany. I am flying around the city on my trusty purple bike, in a last moment attempt to see and do all I’d scribbled on my ‘important and necessary things to eat/see/do in Berlin’. Thus my excuse for having little time to be dicing, stirring, grating, drizzling etc. So, therefore, I give you..... 10 minute red lentil and vegetable curry.
The tiny pink specks began hopping in the pot and came to a boil, I turned the heat down to a simmer and went to lie down for ten minutes (it had been a hectic day..peddling over the Spree and back, dashing to all the vegan cafes left to discover). I could hear the pfuf pfuf of the lentils doing their impression of molten lava. Thankfully, I managed not to nod off and returned to the pot just as the lentils had formed a creamy, thick mass. To this I added what no cook worth his or her salt would admit to buying...a box of pre-cut mixed vegetables. The ones with a crinkle cut and taste rather too much like water. The addition of the iced veg had the brilliant effect of immediately cooling down the curry to a manageable, ‘spooning into mouth’ temperature.
I hope you'll stay with me for moral support. I also promise to up the ante and come up with some good recipes.
To be honest, I've no plan of what I am going to make BUT the recipes will all be gluten free and refined white sugar free (dastardly demons!).
