In an effort to eat better (and less expensively)... I want to make a pot of soup, a loaf of bread, and an undressed salad (that's right, NAKED) every Sunday, so i can use it to start off my work week.
I think today's soup will be:
Red Lentil & Rice
2 Tbs olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
....saute onions in oil and add...
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup dried small red lentils (they look salmon colored)
1/4 cup brown or white rice
.....simmer covered for 30 minutes and add....
sweet paprika, cayenne, and salt to taste.
And today's bread:
Milk Loaf
1& 1/4 cups warmed milk
1oz/30g yeast
1/2 cup sugar
...proof yeast in milk and sugar, mix in...
1 & 1/2 tsp sea salt
3 &1/2 to 4 cups flour... enough to make a soft loaf.
.... Knead for five to ten minutes. Put back in the bowl and let rise until double. Punch down and divide into two loaves and let rise until double again. Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Bake the loaves for 25-30 min until golden brown, then turn out on a wire rack to cool.
And today's salad:
Simple Greek Salad
6 cups baby spinach
snipped strips of soft sundried tomatoes
2 small chopped fresh tomatoes
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 Tbs sunflower seeds
8 or so quality calamata olives, pitted and sliced.
1/2 a sliced cucumber
Dressing: extra virgin olive oil and vinegar, salt, pepper.
