This is a *really* wonderful lentil recipe, but I'll warn you... THIS IS
NOT FAT FREE OR LOW FAT. It contains a fair amount of butter. I'm going to
work on a version that cuts out the butter, I'll post it when I get a good
one!

Sautee the garlic in the butter until browned. While the garlic is
sauteeing, mix the dry spices with 2 Tbsp water to make a paste. Add the
paste to the browned garlic and stir for a couple minutes. Add the lentils
(make sure to rinse them) and stir for a few minutes. Add 2 One half cups water
and simmer for an hour. Serves 4. It's great by itself or with rice!

Subject: Re: Great lentil recipe! I'm sure you were trying to be nice, but
this really irked me. Please do post the yummy recipe when it is fat free
or low fat but NOT now! It's easy to find tasty recipes that have a ton
of butter. That's not why this list was created. This is not a generic
vegetarian mailing list this list is called fatfree. It is for support
for those people, and their families and friends, who are following a
McDougall or Ornishsytle vegetarian diet. It is no fun to see recipes
that are purported to be wonderful that we can't eat!!!!!!!!! Frustrated,
Cindy
