Easy Masoor Daal (Indian Red Lentils)
This masoor daal recipe brings the authentic flavor of India into your kitchen. It’s a delicious combo of red lentils, onion, and spices.

In a medium saucepan, add the lentils, salt, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and ginger.

Bring to a boil after adding just enough water to cover the lentils by 1 inch.

After lowering the heat, simmer the lentils for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and skimming off any foam that forms.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine oil-dried onion and cumin seeds in the last minute of cooking.

Be careful not to burn the onion as you microwave it on high for 45–1 minute to brown it.

Lentils are added to the onion-oil mixture.

Real Chiles Rellenos
This recipe makes chiles rellenos, the traditional Mexican dish of fried peppers stuffed with cheese. To simplify dinner preparation, stuff the peppers in advance and freeze. The next day, remove from the freezer and fry.

Preheat the oven’s broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the peppers onto the prepared baking sheet.

Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered 8 to 10 minutes per side.

When the peppers are about 80 percent blackened place them a plastic bag seal and allow the peppers to steam as they cool about 20 minutes.

Once cool remove the skins and discard.

Cut a slit lengthwise into the side of each pepper and remove seeds and veins.

To reduce spiciness rinse out any remaining seeds with water.

Pat the peppers dry with paper towels.

Make these light-textured turkey meatballs in your air fryer. These taste great on hoagie rolls for a meatball sandwich or with spaghetti and sauce.

In a sizable bowl, mix together the panko, Parmesan cheese, pesto, egg milk, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
