When I saw Aldi were selling little sprouters for $5, I thought it was high time I delved into the world of sprouting. I think I grew sprouts as a kid with a jar and some cheesecloth, but I’ve never tried sprouting anything else. I wasn’t entirely convinced it was necessary, and it looked a bit too fiddly.
Well I still mostly feel that way, but this sprouter contraption thingy is pretty easy to use! Soak a bunch of lentils in water overnight, pop them in the top of this thing and pour water over them 2-3 times a day. After three days or so, you’ve got crunchy sprouty lentils! And they taste pretty awesome. I remember texting my friend and telling her they weren’t going to even make it to the salad at the rate I was going.
Do you sprout? Do you have a sprouter? Do you prefer cooked lentils? Do you like salads? Who are you? What’s your name? Too many questions…
Anyway, this is my final Meatless Monday link up instalment! I will probably still post from time to time, but you’ll find the new linkup over at Lila’s blog from mid-January. I’m so excited to see it in its new home! I will see you there 🙂
Thanks so much for hosting!
You’re welcome, as always!
Love sprouts and i love to grow my own x
You are a clever girl x
Ooohhh sprouting! This is on my to-do list! $5 bucks, bargain..
I know! I can’t resist that kind of deal 🙂
I bought my Dad a sprouted for Christmas, it was more then $5 though! I will tell him to sprout lentils
They’re so good. Like, ridiculously good.
Because I’m a bit excitable I will have the first link-up ready to go on the 6th of January! Don’t look at my site right now though the whole thing is down 🙁
Thanks so much for passing the torch to me Stacey and for running the link for the last two years, amazing!
I’m off to look for a sprouter!
YAY!
Thanks for hosting for all this time Stacey! Your linkup has introduced me to so many great blogs (and food!). Hope all the Melbourne moving stuff is going smoothly!
It’s going… slowly, but surely!
I bought the same one Stacey and grow heaps I love them xx
I can’t see the recipe! Do I have to click somewhere?
