Hey jelly, tried any good new recipes lately?

I tend to get stuck in a rut with my vegetarian bachelor cooking but sometimes I break out of it. I was looking for a way to use up a bunch of cooked bulgur and mint leaves, and found a faux-Middle Eastern recipe for a red lentil and bulgur stew. It turned out splendidly!

Have you found any good recipes recently? I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

Red Lentil and Bulgur Soup with Mint Chili Butter.

But I don’t really like following recipes unless I’m baking, so I just studied it for inspiration and then proceeded to:

-saute a handful of cumin seeds, garlic powder, and 1 chopped onion in ~ 2 TB olive oil
-turn up heat and add a can of chopped tomatoes and a dash of tomato juice, stirring until it thickens
-add 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup dried red lentils (split and washed), 1 cup bulgur (mine was already cooked; use about ⅓ cup if you are using uncooked), and 4 cups water
-add dried red chili peppers, chopped mint leaves, black pepper, and paprika to taste
-let simmer ~40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Throw in a cup of tomato juice if it looks too thick.
