Pink Lentil Curry

By HazyWaters

Ingredients

• 1 pound pink lentils
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2-3 cups chopped vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, cabbage and whatever vegetables you like)
• Curry powder to taste
• 2-4 cloves garlic, mashed
• 1 tablespoon chopped gingerroot
• Salt or soy sauce to taste
• Hot cooked rice

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pick over lentils, removing any stones or foreign matter. Place in a bowl or colander and rinse thoroughly. Place lentils in pot with enough cold water to cover well. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and cook, partially covered, until lentils become a thick mush (about one hour).
2. Meanwhile, heat canola oil in skillet, add vegetables and a little water, stir and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are barely tender.
3. Add curry powder, garlic, ginger and salt or soy sauce. Stir, then replace cover and simmer until vegetables are tender.
4. Add vegetables to lentil mixture. Toss together, correct seasonings, and simmer for 10 minutes to blend flavors.
5. Serve with rice.
