Healthy Hints

Moong beans are a healthy pulse vegetable, and in a vegetarian diet they can supply an important source of iron. The lemon and lime help to increase the absorption of that iron, which is particularly significant if you don’t eat meat.

Directions

1. Heat a medium sized pot over a moderate heat. Add the water, moong, tomatoes, and the onion.
2. Allow to simmer until all the water has evaporated and the ingredients are fully cooked. The moong should be tender to the touch (approximately 40 minutes). It will cook quicker if you soak the moong overnight or if you use a pressure cooker.
3. Add the cumin, salt and vegetable stock, and puree this mixture with a hand blender (be careful as the mixture will be hot).
5. Bring to a rapid boil and then immediately turn down the heat to the lowest setting; add the lemon juice and simmer for five minutes.
5. Serve hot with lime wedges.
