| Don’t be intimidated if you've never cooked with lentils. These tiny legumes are full of flavor, are nutrient dense and cook in just 15 minutes. Find them in the bulk section or in the aisle where you find rice and beans. | |
| 1 Tbs. | extra virgin olive oil |
| 1 medium | yellow or white onion, minced |
| Handful | cilantro |
| 4 cloves | garlic, minced |
| 1 tsp. | ground coriander |
| 1 tsp. | ground cumin |
| 3 tsp. | mild curry powder |
| 8 cups | chicken or vegetable broth |
| 2 ¼ cups | dried red lentils |
| 1 14.5 oz can | crushed tomato |
| 2 | carrots, peeled and minced |
| 2 stalks | celery, minced |
| Lemon, (optional) | |
Heat olive oil in the bottom of a large pot. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add garlic, cilantro and spices and cook for a few more minutes.
Add lentils, tomatoes, and broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.
Finish with celery and carrot for a surprising crunch, and a squeeze of lemon.
