Last night's meatless Monday supper should have been lentil salad, but the turning season called for a warm meal. So, I turned Saturday's Moroccan lentil salad in the jar into a warm bowl of lentils and bulgar wheat.
I cooked the bulgar with organic green stock from our local grower and producer.
This was a sample, but I am so delighted with it that I have decided that I shall be using only this stock when the cooler weather demands that Saturday's in-the-jar salads make way for plant-based soups.
Once the wheat was cooked, I added the lentils, a generous dollop of harissa and a sachet of tomato paste and allowed everything to warm through.
I served it with chilli jam and Trish's tzatziki. Oh, and stay that (or use a plant-based substitute) if you want a vegan meal.
It was a miscellany of Mediterranean - Moroccan, Turkish and Greek. It worked and I'm delighted to say that there was plenty and I was able to freeze some that will make two easy suppers for us on a winter's evening.
If you I can't get to the Mediterranean, you I make it at home.
Post script: I am trying to participate in 's April #HiveBloPoMo. I emphasise trying because RL - and my day job - have been so busy over the last while that I've not known which way to turn. That shouldn't stop you - or anyone. Read about how to participate here.
This is Day 4
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
