Notes: This recipe came to me via another source, but apparently it is orignally from “The Peaceful Cook<\/a>” by Harriet Kofalk. This dish is supposed to be a replacement for taco meat. You wrap these in warm corn tortillas, cover with shredded zucchini and top with organic non fat sour cream.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we just had it as a side dish with grilled chicken. But this recipe finally convinced us that we aren’t lentil people. The rest of it was good. The sauce was saucy and tasty, the raisins a suprisingly yummy touch — I couldn’t blame the recipe here for my dislike of the humble lentil. As much as I want to like them, I can’t. But if you DO like lentils, you should like this recipe, since I almost liked it and I hate lentils!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
