Lentil Curry

My family loves just about any dish served over rice, as you'll be able to see from a large majority of the recipes I post here. This one is a favorite of mine because I adore curry and lentils too! Lentil + curry... it just makes sense! It is very addicting and much tastier than you could ever imagine by looking at it so do yourself a favor and make it. Your welcome!

Lentil Curry

Rinse 2 cups of lentils and then soak them in cold water for 20 minutes. Then cook until soft. (About 40-60 minutes.) Strain and set aside.

1 large onion, diced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh ginger root, minced

Saute the above in a couple of tablespoons of healthy oil (EVOO, grapeseed or coconut) until the onions are soft and translucent.

Add:

2 Tbsp red curry paste
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt
1 28 oz can Muir Glen Fire roasted diced tomatoes

Allow to simmer for 5 minutes and add lentils. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add pre-cooked sausages if desired. Serve over jasmine rice.
