Lentils and sesame seeds combine in this savory, nutty side dish to provide about 10 percent of daily magnesium needs. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons peanut oil |
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (about 4 medium) |
2 cups dried small red lentils |
1 1/2 cups water |
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 cup thinly sliced green onions |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Heat oils in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook 3 minutes or until tender. Add lentils, 1 1/2 cups water, soy sauce, salt, and broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
