Thrifty Cooking: Lentils and Legumes
Make your food dollar go further by using economical and healthy ingredients like beans, lentils, and peas. Chef Mike will demonstrate and serve a hearty lentil stew with greens and potatoes, classic split pea soup, and dal saag (curried red lentils with spinach), and we’ll even make a batch of naan bread from scratch. Vegetarian. Recipes contain: wheat, milk, and eggs. Demonstration with limited hands-on opportunities.
Here’s what Chef Mike has to say about this class, “The kitchen is a great place to start when you’re trying to tighten up your household budget, not to mention the fact that a thrifty kitchen is a more eco-friendly kitchen. Meals made from scratch are remarkably less costly than the store bought version, uses less packaging, and best of all only contains what YOU put in, so that means no preservatives, gums, stabilizers, you get the idea. I’m looking forward to sharing some tips and methods to save some green on your food, and to be greener in your shopping.”
