(S8 E22) Find out why this 8000 year old plant is still popular today. Versatile, healthy, and affordable, it can be the side dish or the main star of your table. They can serve either as the star or supporting player in soups, stews, fritters, salads, chilis, burgers, and curries. Also they are replete with spiritual meaning. In the Jewish culture, lentils are an important food whose round shape symbolizes the cycle of life. In Arabic culture lentils are asassociated with prosperity. Many other cultures attach significance to lentils as well, including Italian and Hungarian people who consumed lentils on BBC New Year's Eve to being about wealth and prosperity since they can be shaped like coins. Whatever your draw is, Kate and Rick talk about the different types of lentils, and also provide some amazing ways to prepare and consume them. Also on the discussion block is a carrot, leek, and miso soup and a carbonara pizza.
