OK, it looks really gross, but I assure you it was really yummy. One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants makes a really “hearty” mixed veggie congee, so I tried my best to knock it off. Since that's not much of a description, this basically tastes like a thick barley vegetable soup.
I cooked some chopped garlic, jalapeno peppers, shitake mushrooms, and zuccini in a couple cups of water. About half an hour later, I threw in some lentils (already prepped) and some sushi rice (for bulk and texture) and a pinch of cumin. I let that simmmer for a few hours, and then yum yum yum.
She really wishes the food was for her. She'll eat anything she's given, even cloves of garlic (well, it was very mild elephant garlic, which is actually a kind of onion).
This was my appetizer… If it's not obvious, I shredded a bunch of garlic and a bunch of ginger, and cooked up some yellow zucchini in it (and some oil). Again, yum yum yum!
