Spicy Lentils With Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot warm the oil under medium heat, then add the sliced carrot and minced garlic, fry for about 5 minutes just until the garlic has cooked. Then add the bay leaf , peppercorns, whole cloves and chilies ( leave out for a non spicy version), you'll fry these for about 2 minutes, this brings out or release the flavors and scents of the spices. You'll smell the spiciness from the chili and peppercorns, and the intense scent of the cloves.
• 2. Have your water ready, next add the paprika, salt, bouillon and lentils. Stir to distribute all the spices and lentils. Now you can add your water to the pot, ( note for every cup of lentils you add one and half cups of water.).
• 3. Bring the lentils to boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and continue cooking until the lentils are soft. It depends on your taste if you want the lentils to have more of a soupy texture than you'll need to add more water. Check on them often to make sure they don't get to dry.
• This recipe makes a hearty meal by serving the lentils with some smoked meat, smoked ham is what you see here, and corn bread. Or vegetarians can skip the meat and just enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook until they are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan onto a plate. Leave the remaining oil in the pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the baking mix, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cayenne. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the reserved onions and the jalapeno. Pour the batter into the skillet the onions were cooked in and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-inch square baking dish or 9-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, sour cream, butter and egg in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Fold in the corn, scallions, pepper jack and chipotle pepper.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake until the cornbread springs back when pressed in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes. Loosen the edges, then slice into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
