Mung Beans With Roasted Carrots And Yogurt
- 3/4 cup mung beans, whole or split
- 1 medium carrot
- 1/2 cup thick plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- Handful parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon juice
- Soak the mung beans in cold water according to packet instructions. I find this varies according to the brand, but 6 hours should be enough.
- Rinse the beans, put in a saucepan, add cold water to cover and bring to a boil.rnCook until tender. Split beans take 10-12 minutes, whole ones more than 20. Again, check packet instructions.
- Meanwhile peel and slice the carrot lengthwise into halves, toss with a little olive oil and grill in a grilling pan.
- Slice red onion very thin.
- When beans are done, rinse in a colander with cold water.
- When properly drained, toss them in a bowl with the onion, cumin, coriander, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the roasted carrot into smaller pieces and add to the bowl.
- Serve with a dollop of thick yogurt on top.
- This dish is best eaten warm or cold, not piping hot.
