You will probably want to stir every so often, to make sure that heat gets distributed throughout the greater volume, so it doesn’t burn. Or -- I’d definitely “slow cook” this in the oven without these worries, say several hours at 200F, very low heat, as high as 225F. </i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-72963709706105413882017-08-06T08:43:59.640-05:002017-08-06T08:43:59.640-05:00Hi, can this recipe be doubled?

All nutrition stats use the same USDA database for their numbers so they should be close if not identical. That means that somewhere, the inputs are different. I just checked my numbers for this recipe, it looks clean. And I know from 13 years of doing nutrition analysis that a half cup of grains/starches adds up to about 100 calories so my results don’t seem out of order at a high level either. Good luck figuring it out, I’d love to know more about your experience with MyFitnessPal, so many folks love it! </i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-2041950245586833242015-07-26T13:38:56.939-05:002015-07-26T13:38:56.939-05:00I entered this recipe into myfitnesspal and it cam...I entered this recipe into myfitnesspal and it came out to only 70 cals per serving (I said the recipe made 8 servings).

It’s especially funny (to me) since I’m no fan of slow cooker recipes (this one is an exception) and am a 100% fan of slow cooking in the oven. I’d cook this at 250F in the oven for about 5 hours. <br /><br />That said, you asked about making it on the stovetop and I think it would work fine, if it were me, I’d sauté the onions and peppers, add the spices and the tomatoes, then the stock, bring all that to a simmer and add the lentils. I’d simmer it on low for a long while, then add the vinegar at the end.<br /><br />Let me know how it goes!</i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-76925577254172232262015-07-05T00:35:03.507-05:002015-07-05T00:35:03.507-05:00Hi!
