Top 6--Lentil Festival on a roll!!

The National Lentil Festival Lengendary Lentil Cook Off took place last Thursday, July 30. We had a room full of hungry judges, eager to try new and different lentil recipes. After the oo's and ahh's, we have come up with our top 6 recipes. They are:

B-L-T Dip, submitted by Janice Elder of Charlotte, NC
Herbed Lentils and Rice, submitted by Betty Fulmer of Greenacres, WA
Savannah’s Sweet Potato Lentil Fritters, submitted by Jane Harrison Ashworth of The Woodlands, TX
Not Your Mother’s Jelly Roll, submitted by Wilma Page of Richland, WA
Rhubarb Lentil Crisp, submitted by Julie Schneider of Pullman, WA
Maple Chipotle Barbecue Lentil Pizza, submitted by Viviane Levine of Summerfield, FL

The winner of the I Hate Lentils category was:

Animal Cracker Dip (Fudgy Chocolate Frosting), submitted by Connie McKeen of Milton, WA

These top 6 recipes will be judged by 400 festival goers on Saturday at 2pm.

Each of the recipes at the cook off were incredible. A HUGE thank you goes out to all of our recipe submitters.

We are now sliding head first into the last stretch of festival preparation. Saturday vendor spots are all filled up. We have extended the deadline for Friday vendors until Friday, August 7. Parade applications are also still available, and will be until August 14.

We are extremely excited about this amazing event and cannot wait to show you all how it is even better than ever!
