INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup dry red lentils
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 medium yellow onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, and let the spices bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils and diced tomatoes to the pan, stirring to combine everything well.
Pour in the light coconut milk along with 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally.
In the last few minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving warm.
