Lentil Dahl

ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
½ onion diced
½ cup carrots diced
½ cup celery diced
2 minced cloves of garlic
2 tsp minced peeled ginger

2 tsp curry powder
½ tsp cumin powder
2 ½ cups vegetable stock or water (Low salt optional)
1 cup lentils, rinsed
¼ tsp pepper
Salt to taste

 
directions:

1. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, garlic and ginger in oil, over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until onions are soft.

2. Add curry and cumin and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scorching the spices.  

3. Stir in stock and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until lentils are soft. You want the mixture to still be a bit soupy. Add salt to taste.

4. Serve over rice or quinoa.
