SPICY LENTIL TART
April 18, 2011 in savoury tarts and pies, Starters, Vegetables
There is a saying that one can make a curry of almost anything – I was reading a new cook book and came across this recipe for a spicy lentil tart and have come to the conclusion that one can also make a pie or a tart of almost anything. I have used lentils in curries, soups, biryani and salads but a tart, for me, is a new take on eating lentils as a main ingredient. I tried out the dish and it’s delicious. This is going to be my contribution for meatless Monday.
SPICY LENTIL TART
1 short crust pastry
600mls milk
175gr red lentils
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. each ground mace, cumin, coriander and mild chilli powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
50gr cheddar cheese, grated
Pinch ground paprika
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
Place milk, lentils and onions in a saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring regularly, until thick and the lentils are tender.
Stir in the spices and salt and leave to cool.
Preheat oven to 190 C.
Line a greased 20cm flan dish with the short crust pastry and place in fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
Stir in the egg and cheese into the lentil mixture.
Spoon into the pastry case.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
Serve sprinkled with coriander.

That sounds delicious – I have a similar recipe, but without the crust or chilli! I’ll give this version a try
