I got to thinking that, hey, other vegan cheesecakes could have this same unusual foundation and be just as yummy (and high protein, for those who are looking for additional protein in their vegan diet).

Curried Lentil Dip or Spread (gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free)






IN MEDIUM POT, Bring to a boil:
*1 C. Red Lentils in
*2 1/2 C. Filtered Water
Turn it down to Low when it has boiled and simmer for about 20 minutes.

IN A SKILLET, SAUTE TOGETHER (for about 5 minutes):
*1 T. Coconut Oil
*1 C. diced Onions
*1 1/2 C. diced Apple (peeled and cored)
*3 Garlic Cloves, grated or minced
*dash of Celtic Sea Salt

ADD to the above:
*1/2 C. Raisins
*1 tsp. Curry Powder
and continue to cook for another 20 minutes on LOW.

ADD all of the above to a Food Processor and process with:
*1/4 C. Coconut Milk
*2 T. Fresh-squeezed Lemon Juice
*1/2 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt (or to taste)

This is a delicious high protein, low fat vegan dip that will disappear almost as soon as you set it on the table at a Potluck.  Dip with multi-grain pita (or GF), fresh crudite (raw veggies), pineapple spears, mango chunks, ??
