Dumi & Joan's International Apartment of Cuisine: November

Buffalo Yogurt with Apples and Honey

Buffalo yogurt would certainly be considered a specialty food, making it difficult to find - but if you can get your hands on some, I definitely recommend it.  It's incredibly creamy and has a little something that's hard to put ones finger on, but it is really delicious. If you can't find buffalo yogurt, good old "Greek", or plain yogurt will do.  Just slice up some apples and place them and some yogurt in a bowl, and drizzle honey on top.

Wild Rice, Lentil, Tomato and Tuna Salad:

In one pot, bring to boil 1 cup french lentils and then simmer until lentils absorb water.

In another bigger pot, bring to bowl 1 cup wild rice.  When the rice is cooked, add 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned tomatoes are fine).  Add the cooked lentils, 1 tbls oregano, 1 tbls dried or fresh rosemary, salt and pepper - stew for 5 minutes - add tuna and stir - serve- enjoy!

Bulgur with Cinnamon, Yogurt, Bananas and Honey:

Lentil, Tomato and Cheese Salad: 



A new favorite breakfast; cook 1 cup of bulgur (bring 1:2 proportions bulgur to water to a boil, with 1 tbls salt and then simmer until the bulgur absorbs the water). then put yogurt on top, with chopped bananas and honey.

**tip: try substituting sliced up apples, berries, etc with this bfast.

In a saucepan/pot, bring to boil 1 cup green (or French) lentils, using 1:1 lentil to water ratio, and put a pinch of salt in.  In a bowl, place diced roasted peppers (you can roast or sautee the peppers yourself in a pan, or just buy the ones in jars and chop them up), 2 medium tomatoes, 1 small to medium red onion and about 2 oz feta-like cheese.  Add lentils once they are cooked.
-in a small bowl or jar, vigorously mix oil and balsalmic vinegar (2:1 ratio, although I like my dressing more vinegary), 2 tbls dijon mustard (with or without seeds is fine), salt and pepper, 1 tsp sugar or honey.  Pour however much you want into the bowl of lentil salad.
