 Hmmm... what shalI I say about this dessert? With its cardamom spice, it definitely has an Indian feel. I don't think I have quite mastered yet the perfect lentil consistency, but overall, this would be a good diet treat. Low-fat, for sure, and you could probably use stevia instead of brown sugar. Even though I found the recipe online, I didn't have all the ingredients, so I just sort of winged it... For me, the end result had the consistency of oatmeal. I like oatmeal, so that's not a bother. Next time, I might try to process it for a smoother consistency and refrigerate it. Something tells me that it would taste even better cold! ---Jenny SWEET LENTIL PUDDING 1/3 split red lentils about 8 halved cashews (I used sunflower seeds) 1/2 cup half and half 1 1/2 cups water 3/4 tsp cardamom powder 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes dash of cinnamon 1/2 cup almond flour, more or less to your desired consistency Rinse lentils well and let soak, along with cashews, for about an hour. Drain and bring to a boil in a saucepan with 1 cup of the water. Add half and half and the rest of the water, along with the cardamom, coconut and cinnamon. Add almond flour to your desired consistency. Printer-Friendly Version:
