Curried Lentil Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add Spices

   Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the sautéed vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to toast slightly.

3. 3

   Combine Lentils and Broth

   Add the lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

4. 4

   Add Coconut Milk

   Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the coconut milk. Allow to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
