Cook Bloomington: Thanksgiving Leftovers: Lentil Roulade Sandwich with Cranberry Relish...think meatloaf for the vegetarian

The Golden Lentil Roulade with Chestnut Stuffing, posted on Thanksgiving day 2011, makes the best sandwiches the next day or days after.

The roulade slices perfectly and, when paired with mayo and cranberry relish on whole wheat toast, it is like the best Thanksgiving leftover sandwich for the vegetarian or carnivore. The herbal flavor of the stuffing and the sweetness of the chestnuts goes perfectly with the tart and fresh flavor of the cranberry relish.

Why I write CookBloomington

I love to cook and do so every day. I read endless cookbooks and watch countless cooking shows. I love to take what I read and see and make it my own based on my own palate and, quite frankly, what is available in Bloomington markets.

To add to the equation, I am a pescatarian. I spent years being a devoted vegetarian, but really missed fish and seafood. I have worked very hard to create recipes that are as delicious and as lovely as any that include pork (a mainstay for cooks to add flavor) or any other meat.

So all the recipes in this site are adapted to a meat free diet and all ingredients can be found in Bloomington when in season.

Please feel free to add your comments. This is a work in progress and I hope this will be a useful resource for cooks in Bloomington and beyond. Plus I use this as a resource to remember recipes that I make up on the spot. I have a tendency to forget (which has nothing to do with the occasional martini that I might have before dinner) what I cooked the night before. I say it is because there is always something new,fresh and wonderful at the grocer or at the farmers market to cook the next night.
