Red Lentil Dhal With Crisp Parsnips
"I can never have enough things to do with lentils. I found this in the February 2008 copy of BBC Good Food magazine and decided to add it for future use. The recipe says that his can be frozen if you leave off the parsnip crisps."

I used the parsnip Idea from this recipe on the 'Mixed Dhal' Recipe and was great. Next time I would mabee through on a few spices just to make it that much better TY Sarah Jayne -
Deicious! I accidentally spilled a little too much curry powder in mine (oops, butterfingers!) but it didn't do any damage. The parsnips were a lovely sweet crispy contrast I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks! -
What a tasty dal! And the crisp parsnips put this over the top. I never imagined that parsnips would take on such a crisp and delightful texture, but they do. I will be using crisp parsnips on more than dal, I can tell you! Thanks for sharing. ~Sue

I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
