BABY SPICE LENTILS
1 cup orange lentils
1/4-1/2 teaspoon curry or cumin or coriander
Put lentils in a pan and cover with water (approximately 3 cups of water). Cook until lentils are mushy, you may need to add more water or pour out extra once the lentils are done. Put into food processor or food mill with spice and blend. Lentils can be served with a dollop of winter squash and yogurt.
