Bob, My " recipe " is still rather " experiments in the kitchen, " but here's what I have so far: Soak 1/2 - 3/4 cup split red lentils over night. Drain, and add fresh water. Simmer lentils until tender. Drain, and press as much liquid out of the lentils as you can. Measure the cooked lentils (easier if they are cool.) Should be about 1 cup cooked lentils. Butter two small bundt pans well. Put lentils, one egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in a mini-food processor. Whir until blended throughly and smooth. If desired, add maybe an ounce of finely shredded sharp cheddar and whirl again until fully incorporated. Fill bundt pans 3/4 full. Place in 350F oven for about 35 minutes. Remove and turn out. Allow to cool. I haven't yet tried it in mini-loaf pans. I put on a batch of lentils to soak, got busy over the weekend, and determined that I have fermented lentils this morning, so no more experiments until I toss the current batch and buy some more lentils. I'm not sure you can call this a " bread " as such -- it's more of a sponge cake texture, but I rather like it. It's a change of pace from nut breads. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think a pyrex loaf-er would affect the shape or texture, instead of a bundt? Well, as you're doubtless aware, one problem with the very dense SCD breads is that they don't cook completely in the middle, and can be over-done on the outside edges. So I hit on using Bundt pans to put heat in the middle and on the outsides. All I can suggest is to try it, and let us know how it comes out! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with fermented lentils - should taste like the equivalent of " sour dough " lentils. Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh.... it look just plain weird. And fermented is one thing. GREEN is another..... I might consider deliberately fermenting some another time. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
