Another oven baked dinner. The lack of stove is drawing on and on because my dad is out of town and we need him to put the new one in. It certainly makes cooking a little more creative then before. I found this recipe for oven packets and I thought perfect! They really were great too, a little spicy which was a surprise since nothing in them had too much heat, we figured it must have been the ginger. So I would add one tablespoon if you don't like spicy food.
Recipe
1 1/2 C cooked lentils
1 medium sweet potato, chopped
1 C green beans, thinly sliced
3/4 C chopped red bell pepper
1 C low-sodium vegetable broth
2 T minced ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 t curry powder
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 4 large squares of foil. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well making sure the spices have coated all the vegetables. Scoop out onto the foil in four even parts, it's easiest to just eye it in the bowl as best you can and do each packet one at a time. To fold the packets, I pulled the top and bottom together and then the sides up to the top one by one. Just make sure they secure so the liquid won't leak everywhere in your oven. Bake 25 minutes. Meanwhile cook some quinoa to serve with the packets.
Enjoy,
