The benefits of eating with the seasons range from improved cost and sustainability to better taste and nutrition, as well as improved community and local economy. Best of all? Delicious food.
I love lentils. Cooked from dry, they’re a great way to bulk out meat, poultry, and fish (when it comes to animal products, a good rule of thumb is less but better — accompanying them with pulses is a wonderful way to accomplish this). For them to really shine, all they need is a little love and time.
Tomatoes, eggplant, sweet potatoes and peanuts all feel quite at home in this warmly spiced stew that is perfect for leading you out of summer's frantic heat and into the unhurried cool of autumn.
