“Crescent says, ‘This great, easy, healthy, homey lentil soup can’t be beat. The few ingredients belie its deliciousness. The garlic and olive oil give a rich, almost meaty taste, yet it is vegetarian and tastes even better the next day. It is based on a recipe by a fine local cook.’”

This is a fusion of Asian and Greek food. I really love Spinach Feta bites, but I didn’t like all the calories that come with the pastry shells that the bites usually come in. Conversely, I really enjoy spring rolls, but don’t really enjoy the preparatoin involved in making them. So, here is the best of both worlds.
