I purchased matpe beans at the east-Indian market, and sprouted them for a kebab-rice stir-fry. Sprouting is a simple procedure that takes about three days - if you want long shoots.
After they are sprouted, steam some basmati rice, then stir-fry it with chopped vegetables - mixed peppers are nice - and spices.
Then, gently blend everything together - I add a little turmeric.
I served this with meatballs flavored with kebab seasoning.
Recipe for Lemon Rice:
3 cups of basmati rice or other long-grained rice
3 tbs vegetable oil
1 cup sprouted matpe beans
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 whole dried red chili
¼ tsp chili
¼ tsp asafetida
tsp turmeric
¼ tsp coriander powder
½ tsp garam masala
¼ cup lemon juice
4-5 curry leaves
1 tsp sugar
Salt as desired
We also enjoyed dal makhani on potato buns, zucchini fritatta, bacon and onions on toasted buns, and a carrot-orange-red onion salad...this meal had to sustain us through a 9.5 mile hike.
I made strawberry crepes in the dark, right before we crawled into the tent - because we wanted dessert after dinner. George had to hold a flashlight, so I could finish eating!
The next day we had peach crepes - these are the best I could do for 'sugar shots' - quick, with fruit and yogurt.
