Curried Lentils with Fruit
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Curry powder, apples and raisins transform this humble dish of lentils into an exotic side for meats and poultry.
Ingredients:
1-1/2
cups uncooked lentils, rinsed, sorted and drained*
1
Granny Smith apple, cored, peeled and chopped
1/4
cup golden raisins
1/4
cup lemon nonfat yogurt
1
teaspoon curry powder
1
teaspoon salt
Preparation:
1.
Combine 2 quarts water and lentils in large saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2.
Stir apple and raisins into saucepan; cook 10 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain lentil mixture; discard liquid.

Cook's Tip:
Apples brown easily once they are cut. To prevent undesirable browning, sprinkle lemon, apple or grapefruit juice over apple pieces.
