Answer 1

Quoted from Paul Mcartney in the episode of The Simpsons; "Lisa the Vegetarian" , here's a recipe for a ripping Lentil soup:

    Ingredients

    * 1 medium onion, chopped

    * 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

    * 1 clove of garlic, crushed

    * 1 cup of carrots, chopped

    * 2 sticks of celery, chopped

    * 1/2 cup of lentils

    * 1 bay leaf

    * 1 tablespoon of freshly-chopped parsley

    * salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste

    * 2 1/4 cups of vegetable stock or water

Directions

Simmer on medium heat until lentils are tender.

Answer 2

One of my favorite vegetarian recipes is curry.  It can be made with almost any vegetable and contains little fat.  The basics are as follows:

- heat up some oil in a skillet (I usually use extra light olive oil)

- add a diced onion and cook till almost translucent

- add some curry powder, a little goes a long way, and cook for a minute or two

- add some diced tomatoes, a 14 oz can makes this really easy, heat to a simmer point

- add whatever vegetables you have on hand and cook till they are done; if they have different cooking times, add them in the order of whichever takes the longest to the shortest

- another way to tell when the curry is done is when the curry starts to separate from the oil a bit

Some of the best vegetables, which can all be mixed and matched, are: potatoes, cauliflower, chick peas, okra.  You can also add a hot pepper if you'd like more heat in the dish.

(P.S. You gotta have fresh tomatoes added to a lentil soup, can would work too)  Rainbow Sorbet:

4 frozen peeled kiwi

1 box frozen strawberries (tops cut off)

1 frozen pineapple (peeled, sliced)

6 frozen bananas

4-6 fresh mint leaves

3 fresh bananas

1. Freeze fruit 8-12 hours ahead of time.

2. In food processor with "S" blade: blend 2 frozen bananas, kiwis, mint and 1 fresh banana in food processor. This is the first layer. Put into a parafait glass, place in freezer

3. Second layer: in food processor, blend 2 frozen bananas with frozen strawberries and one fresh banana. This is the second later, put on top of first layer, return glass to freezer.

4. Third Layer: in food processor, blend 2 bananas, frozen pineapple, and one fresh banana and put on top of second layer, garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately.

8-12 hours to freeze fruit; 20 minutes to prepare; 4-6 servings

You can just make one layer and eat that. Each layer can be eaten separetely, on it's own. Any fresh fruit can be used- keeping banana as the base.

Sorbet can be prepared with several machines. The vitamix does fine. The champion and the Green Power can do this as well, using the solid 'blank'.
