Most recipes I've come across call for sauteeing onions or adding oils
to vegetarian dishes. As it turns out slow cooking carrots, lentils,
onions and fresh tomatoes works out very well, since they all cook at
the same rate. 4 hours in my slow cooker works perfect and of course
there is no fat. I season with a small amount of garlic salt and
pepper. It's one of the quickest, healthiest, vegetarian recipes I
know. I use 1/4 cup lentils, 1.5 cups tomatoes, 2 cups carrots, and
3/4 cups onions. All the vegetables are in large chunks. I use about 2
cups of water. This huge meal is 300 calories, about 12 grams protein
and essentially fat free. One warning. Your entire house will smell
like onions....and you will too if you eat this several days in a row.
You could always just leave out the onions if you wish. I don't need
to measure anymore since I do make it so often, except for the
lentils. It is 4 larger carrots, 2 roma tomatoes, and half a large
onion. I keep the other half in a well-sealed polybag in the refrig.
