Red Lentil Polenta with Fire Roasted Ragu

Red Lentil Polenta
Chef Karen Johnson, MS, RDN, LD
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup dried red lentils
1/2 yellow onion, diced
4 cups vegetable stock
Method
1. Line a 9' x 9" pan with parchment paper.
2. Add lentils to the pitcher of a high-powered blender and blend until fine
meal is formed. Measure 1 cup lentil meal.
3. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until
onions are translucent, adding a little water as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Add the stock to the pot, increase heat to high, and heat until boiling.
5. Slowly pour in the lentil meal while whisking boiling stock. Continue
whisking until the lentils cook and a thick porridge is formed, about 5
minutes.
6. Pour lentil mixture into pan and allow to cool. When cooled, place pan in
refrigerator for about 8 hours, until mixture is solid.
7. When solid, slice into squares. Enjoy reheated in oven on baking tray or
sautéed in pan until browned!
8. Enjoy with sautéed vegetables of choice!

I was already eating red lentils when I found you were on live! Haha.. 👍 cool, love this channel!

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

who knew lentils could make polenta. Love it

[@Heybros233]

I can’t wait to make this! I have some red lentils in my pantry!!

[@ariannewdnotbe]

This brings me back to my childhood. On hot summer nights my grandmother used to make polenta & added corn kernels to it. She put it in the refrigerator to set, & then (sorry!) fried it & poured maple syrup over it when ready to serve with fresh tomatoes from the garden.
You could adapt her recipe to the oven.

Polenta was always served growing up at our house. Another pro tip i learned lately is to add the flour (corn, lentil) to the cold broth then heat to preferred doneness. No spitting.

Looks Sooo yummy! How do you get to be in your studio audience?? 😮

[@user-sg6io9ko3q]

I just received your Warrior cookbook yesterday and I must compliment everyone of y'all. I started plant based right before my 70th birthday and this is the first week I completely was plant based. My question is, when y'all have flax meal as an ingredient does that mean just ground flax seeds? Also, I just don't like brown rice at all but I love brown rice pasta, is it ok to use white rice? If not, what would you suggest. Thank you

[@ahngele28]

Why didn't you taste on camera?

[@juliegillies6688]

I thought we had to always rinse the polenta first. So we don’t?

[@GayleAmis]

I read that red lentils should be washed well, then spread out in a pan and dried in a 150 degree oven until brittle before grinding into flour. Removes dust and the subtle off-flavor.

[@juliegillies6688]

@@GayleAmis thank you

[@MrScotch16]

Why would her clients not be able to eat corn?

[@patricialynveal4017]

Got celery got salt...😂😂😂

[@lynnmoz0616]

4 cups stock to 1 cup of lentils?

[@patricialynveal4017]

So use 32 ounce spaghetti jar.... 4 cups water cooks down
