INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Dried Red Lentils (100g)
0.25 cup Light Coconut Milk (60g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds (10g)
0.25 cup Chopped Onion (40g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
0.5 tsp Curry Powder
0.5 tsp Ground Cumin
0.5 tsp Ground Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in a splash of water or a light cooking spray until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric, stirring for about 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the rinsed lentils and 2 cups of water to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook for about 20 minutes until the lentils are tender and start to break down.
Stir in the light coconut milk and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt and the dal to thicken slightly.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If the dal is too thick, add a splash more water to reach your desired consistency.
Finish by stirring in the hemp seeds before serving for an extra boost of protein and a nutty texture.
