A tasty meal for the soul!

Ingredients:

1 cup red lentils, well rinsed

3 large tomatoes, ½” cubes

4 onions, thinly sliced or finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ tsp cayenne or to taste

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp salt, optional

1 tbsp parsley, minced

Directions:

Put lentils, cayenne, salt and turmeric in 4 cups boiling water and cook until tender (5-8 minutes - do not overcook as you do not want them mushy).

Saute onions until golden brown using water (see Chef AJ’s youtube video - How to Caramelize Onions without Oil)

Add garlic when onions are almost done and cook another few minutes.

Add tomatoes to the onion mixture and cook until pulpy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the lentils to the onion and tomato mixture and cook another 5 minutes or until desired consistency. Garnish with parsley.

Lovely served over brown rice! For added heat, use tomato chutney or kimchi as a condiment.

Enjoy!
