/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I pulled out some frozen cheap ass pork chops that I'd intended to eat with a baked sweet potato.

Instead I found this recipe for vegetarian tacos made with lentils and decided why the fuck not. So I cut up and cooked the pork chops and threw in the cooked lentils, some water and taco seasoning, let it simmer for a bit and ate it on flour tortillas that I made myself because I didn't want to go and buy any. Not bad at all.

Never had cooked or eaten lentils before this. Bought about a cup of both red and green lentils from the store a while back intending to try them out and forgot I had them. I thought it would look nice to have a mix of the red and green but cooking them together just turned it into a green-brown nasty looking mess. They had peppery smell to them while they were cooking. I want to try a spicy lentil soup or maybe something with curry.

Red lentils are nice to look at but I don't know why.
