Savory Sprouted Lentil Nut Spread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Saute onion and garlic in butter until tender. Bring stock to boil in medium sauce pan. Add lentils, salt, pepper, savory, celery,carrot, tomatoes, and sauted onion and garlic.
• 2. Simmer over low to medium heat 45 minutes or until lentils are tender and thick.

Steps:

• Sprout the 1/2 cup lentils for 2 days(See my recipe).
• Sprout the sesame seeds for 2 days, following same method(or used unsprouted).
• Place the lentils and sesame seeds in a food processor.
• Add the avocado, lemon and salt to taste.
• Add herbs according to what you like and process until smooth. I used cilantro and parsley with good results(about 1/4 cup each).
• You may use the spread on bread or toast or biscuits. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and may and mix until well combined add everything else and chill.

Steps:

• Place sprouted lentils in large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In a food processor, chop walnuts very small, but do not reduce to a powder. If chopping by hand, you want the walnut pieces to be similar in size to the lentils. Put walnuts in with lentils.
• In a food processor, chop the carrots. If processing by hand, you can also shred on a box grater. Put carrots in with lentils and walnuts.
• Next comes the spinach. Either pulse in food processor or mince with a knife. Put in with carrots, lentils and walnuts. Mix to combine thoroughly.
• For the dressing, shake all the dressing ingredients in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid until thoroughly mixed or use the bowl and whisk method. (if using the mayo, the bowl and whisk is much better suited).
• Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and combine until thoroughly mixed. We wanted just a little dressing to give a "pop" of flavor. If you like more dressing on your salads, feel free to double the dressing amount. (When we make this with the mayo, we then use this as a sandwich filling).

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and orange juice until smooth. Fold in the cranberries and pecans. Cover and chill for atleast 30 minutes.
• Yield 1 1/2 cups. Cooking time is chill time.
