Baked fries with mushrooms, caramelized onion and gravy
This is a fairly high calorie and time consuming recipe of approximately 650 calories. It is amazing after a long skate on the canal, or following an astronomy midterm. Here is the recipe:
Baked fries
2 potatoes
1 t sunflower oil
1 t garlic powder
½ t ground black pepper
½ t cayenne powder
Preheat your oven to 450 F. Slice the potatoes in to strips and put them in a bag with the spices and oil. Shake the bag until the spices are evenly distributed and then place the potatoes on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and then bake for another 10 minutes.
Mushrooms, caramelized onion and gravy
¼ c red lentils
1 c water
¼ low sodium vegetable bouillon cube
1 t rosemary
1 t garlic powder
1 t coriander
1 t cumin
1 t curry powder
1 t onion salt
1 t olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 medium sized white onion, coarsely chopped
½ c diced mushroom
2 T low-sodium soy sauce
Rinse the lentils in cold water, and add to 1 c of boiling water. Simmer lentils for 30 minutes with 2 cloves of garlic, bouillon cube and spices. Oil a large pan and begin caramelizing the onion. Add the mushrooms and remaining garlic clove. Once the lentils are cooked and mushy, add the lentils to the pan and stir together with the onion mixture and soy sauce on low heat until sufficiently mixed. Pour over fries and enjoy. I had sauerkraut with my fries too!
