People keep coming into the shop to say, "We've heard all about your soups from our friends ... What's cookin' today?"
This weekend (to help you cope with the suddenly Novemberish change in weather) I've hit the lentils, hard! We have three fabulous lentil stews in stock (plus all the other meat-based soups on our menu). Each stew is utterly distinctive and unique in its own way.
Umbrian Lentil Stew: This stew is something of the 'house stew' at Sticky Fingers Delectables. First we develop a thick broth using caramelized onions and celery with tomatoes. The copious use of fresh rosemary is what pushes this stew over the top. Get a couple sides of Beach Lake Dinner rolls and butter 'em up then sit down to one of Sullivan County's best soups ...
Laughing Buddha Mulligatawny Stew: This South Asian recipe begins its evolution as a fragrant pureed mash of onions, garlic, curry, and ginger. Red lentils are added to the mash in a big heavy pot with hot coconut oil at its base. The mash covers and sticks to the lentils before they even begin to take on liquid. Each little lentil now becomes a 'flavor ambassador' of the original mash. Then bite-sized cubes of butternut squash get tossed into the stew, which adds to its 'beefiness.' The result is absolutely fabulous--come and see!
Lemony Lebanese Lentil Stew: This intensely aromatic stew is the densest of all three stews we are making this weekend at Sticky Fingers. For the latest batch I was unable to locate any fresh chard in neighborhood vegetable stands so I substituted fresh spinach and mustard greens instead. Do you like Middle Eastern food? Well, then, Friends .... Next stop: Sticky Fingers!
