Tasty Dahl Delight!

This is a version of a traditional dahl recipe that our family modified one night based on what we had around the house. It was a last minute thrown together meal, and I must say that it was delicious!

What You Need:

• 2 cups dried red lentils
• 1 Tbl olive oil
  
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1 cup tomatoes, diced
• 1 medium-large onion, diced
• 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 Tbl. tumeric
• 1 Tbl dried ginger
• 1 jalapeno, diced (this can be left out or decreased for non-spice lovers)

What You Do:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add onion and sautee for about 10 minutes
• While onions are cooking, add lentils and 4 cups water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer until lentils are tender and water has been absorbed.
• After onions become translucent, add tumeric and ginger and still for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, jalapeno, peas and coconut milk. Simmer.
• Once lentils are ready, add to the onion mixture. Let simmer until all veggies are tender.
• Best served over brown rice. This makes about 4-6 servings.
