I’ve got a bag of lentils leering from my cabinet. Would greatly appreciate an intro recipe 👌🏻
bestestandrew tickled to.
I learned to make them from this really eccentric spanish lady I used to work for & it’s close to my heart. Shout out to Lourdes, you were nuts but I think about you often lol
Ingredients:
1 yellow onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic (you do you)
1-2 large carrots, slice into coins
2 cups lentils
2 bay leaves
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp coriander
salt&pepper
4 tbsp olive oil
broth of choice (i use better than bouillon)
1. Soften the onion, garlic and carrot in a dutch oven with some olive oil.
2. When the onions have started to sweat & are translucent, add whatever spices you’d like (i usually either use sweet paprika and coriander OR some curry paste if i’m goin for more of a daal flavor, and then salt and pepper of course). Stir to incorporate and toast the spices for a couple minutes.
3. Add the lentils and a couple bay leaves and cover with broth (I use a heaping tablespoon of better than bouillon and enough water to cover the lentils by about 1/2 an inch)
4. Bring to a boil, but then turn down immediately and simmer until the liquid is mostly evaporated! (if you let them boil too long they will get a mealy texture)
5. Done! Top with egg of your choice, arugula, some nice olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and some yogurt... if you want!
meldotcom wonderful, thanks so much for sharing. Gotta love an eccentric boss.
