    Caramelised Onion Dhal

    A warming treat for cooler, Autumnal evenings

    Serves 4
    Suitable for Vegans
    Difficulty Moderate

    Ingredients

    • 1 rounded tbsp coconut oil
    • 2 onions, peeled and finely sliced
    • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
    • 1 tsp ground turmeric
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
    • 1 tbsp medium curry paste
    • 300g dried red lentils
    • 1 litre hot vegetable stock
    • Handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
    • Generous pinch of sea salt

    Method

    Step 1
    In a large pan, heat the coconut oil until it becomes liquid. Add the sliced onions over a medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the onions are golden brown. Remove half of the cooked onions from the pan, and set them aside.

    Step 2
    Add the garlic, turmeric, cumin and chilli flakes into the remaining onions and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in the curry paste until combined.

    Step 3
    Pour in the red lentils and half of the stock, then simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add in the remaining stock and simmer until the liquid has absorbed, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.

    Step 4
    Remove from the heat and stir through the reserved caramelised onions and flat leaf parsley. Season to taste with sea salt. Serve hot.
