This one came out above average.

Chop half of a large head of frissee, one carrot, and one destringed
stalk of celery and toss in a salad bowl with olive oil, lime
juice (I used some heritage lime variety but I neglected to note
which one), sea salt and pepper.

Heat a little olive oil in a saucepan, and sear 1/2 teaspoon
each of powdered cumin and tumeric. Add one heaping cup of
cooked orange lentils, and mash them around with a spoon.
Orange lentils tend to retain a lot of water when cooked, so
refry them long enough to drive most of it out. Add enough
shaved nutmeg to be noticed. Mix in 2/3 cup of cooked cauliflower
which has been chopped rather small.

Puff two 10" trans-fat-free flour tortillas in a toaster oven,
spread on the lentil mixture then top with the frissee mixture.

Good looking recipe, Steve. If only I could find frissee
that doesn't cost a fortune. Where do you get yours?

I got an organic frissee at the Berkeley farmers market.
I think it was around $2 and was pretty good-sized.

I nearly forgot: I also put a very small squirt of habanero sauce
into the lentils.

The phrase 'orange lentil" put me off....I was trying to envision
orange flavors combinedwith lentils. I've always heard of those
orange-colored lentils as 'red' lentils. when i put the citrus concept
out of my mind, this sounds great!

Yes, I wasn't quite sure of the exact term. They are closer
to orange in color than they are red or yellow.

Next time I'm at the store I'll see what they call them on the
bin.

Well the bin at the grocery store says "red lentils". You're
right, my mistake. Thanks.
