INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup Red Lentils (dry)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 medium Carrot
1 small Onion
1 stalk Celery
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cool water and set aside.
Chop the carrot, onion, and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot; continue to sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the rinsed lentils along with the diced tomatoes, ground cumin, dried thyme, and bay leaf.
Pour in the light coconut milk along with 1 to 1.5 cups of water to ensure the stew has enough liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld together. If the stew becomes too thick, add a bit more water to reach your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy while warm.
