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.
