I'll have to investigate.

I used brown lentils which I think take longer to cook than pink. This will work fine with pink lentils, just adjust the cooking time so that the pink lentils are thoroughly cooked but still hold their shape.

You can also freeze any leftover minced rosemary to use later.

As I was making this dish the l...Hi Live and Learn,<br />As I was making this dish the last time, I wondered what other herbs might be good substitutes. You'd get a different taste, but perhaps also delicious. The one herb that I thought of that I might try is dill. The other flavors could be Mediterranean and I think dill would go well with those. When my husband and I were dating, he used to make a rice, lima bean, and dill dish that was very tasty. A friend of his from the Middle East (Iran, I think) told him how to make it originally. So, anyway, if you like dill, you might experiment with some minced fresh dill in place of rosemary, adding just a little dill at a time until you like the flavor.<br /><br />Rosemary overwinters here in the PNW if protected. My rosemary is in a trough planter on the deck, up against the house. I can usually keep rosemary plants alive for 4 or 5 years. Then we have a rough winter and I have to start over. It's what works, here, but likely would not work in harsher winter climates.<br /><br />The dried rosemary may also be tasty. Good luck with it if you try the dry rosemary.<br />Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-30043751852476060052021-07-09T10:29:35.049-07:002021-07-09T10:29:35.049-07:00Thanks for the recipe - I have quite a bit of rose...Thanks for the recipe - I have quite a bit of rosemary and love the flavor.

Fresh herbs are expensive, so I'll have to check out dry. However, we do like lentils and this sounds like a good way to prepare them.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
