Balsamic Glazed Strawberries

Strawberries are one of the tell-tale signs of early summer. They're plentiful at the farmers market, and they're plentiful in the Produce Department. If you haven't tasted the flavor of strawberry with reduced balsamic vinegar, prepare for a party for your taste buds. This dish is delicious served over vanilla ice cream or yogurt.

The Palouse is famous for lentils - a legume that’s packed with protein, fiber, and flavor. Great for diets that don’t include a lot of animal proteins, lentils are a great source of the nutrition you need. Right now, shop our bulk department for a great deal: organic green lentils for just $1.99 per pound.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 1/2 cups green lentils, rinsed and drained

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • Pinch each of salt and black pepper

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute, then stir in the spices and cook another minute. Add the lentils, broth and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Stir in the cilantro just before serving and taste for salt and pepper.

Serving Suggestion

Add 1/3 cup of cooked brown rice to each serving for a hearty vegetarian meal. You can adjust the heat of this dish by increasing the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon. The lentils also make a great party appetizer, served with fresh pita bread for scooping
