Curried Carrots & Lentils
I just had a beautiful baby boy & my dear friend, Laura Hall, brought over this delicious & nutritious lentil dish. I had it first with quinoa then the following day with the corn chips... So good!!!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup green lentils 1.5 cups water 1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces ½ cup chopped onion ¼ cup raisins 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (okay, sometimes I use 2) 1 tsp. Himalayan rock salt 1 teaspoon curry powder Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
Rinse the lentils thoroughly. Combine lentils and ½ cup of water in a large saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the carrots and another ½ cup of water and simmer on high for another 5 minutes. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and ½ a cup of water, cover, cook 5 more minutes and test the carrots for tenderness, add a splash of water and cook longer if need be. Adjust seasoning and serve alone, with brown rice or grains, or chill and pair with corn tortillas chips as a yummy dip.
