Dig it chicken soup with no rice.
I decided to forego the starch and add a half cup of lentil sprouts instead.
Goya puts out a great tiny lentil called a Pardina lentil. It'a a superfast sprouter and a quick cooking natural for homemade chicken soup (the only kind the Maximalist eats)With chicken purchased cheaply it makes no sense to not indulge in it. Homemade soup gets that nice gelatin quality when you cool it to scrape the fat away. The lentils were a nice addition and looked pretty. The sprouts are much healthier too!
If I were to use a bigger sprout or add rice, both would have to be precooked, not so Pardina Lentils.
Other sprouts underway are more kidney beans, green peas as always, and I am trying navy beans too. I heartily recommend lentil sprouts of any color. Fast and good tasting, they cook quickly and maintain their nutrients.
The kidney beans were fabulous sauteed with garlic and onions. Then I added a thick hot salsa. Chili sans carne.
