Hello!
Ah Monday! New week, new experiments in my kitchen 🙂 Since the last mission (#4) in the #savetheplanet challenge was about keeping one day a week vegan, I thought that it would be appropriate to share some of my go to vegan recipes with you.
First off is an easy peasy lentil curry. This is a filling and warming dish packed with protein from both the lentils and broccoli. I served mine over roasted spaghetti squash, but anything goes: pasta, rice, zoodles, salad… You crave it, you cook it!
♥ Cocoloco Lentil Curry
Serves 2 and takes approx 20 min
- 1 cup (2,5 dl) coconut milk
- 1 cup (2,5 dl) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup (1 dl) lentils
- 1/2 cup (1,5 dl) water
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup (2,5 dl) broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons dried cilantro
- 1/4 cup (1/2 dl) fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- A splash of Tamari
- Salt and Pepper to taste
How to make it:
- In a large pot, whisk together the coconut milk, crushed tomatoes, water, cilantro, ginger, mint and curry powder and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in the lentils, cover, and reduce the heat to low.
- Set your timer to 5 minutes, toss in the broccoli when it rings.
- Cook until the lentils have absorbed most of the liquid and are thick and creamy, about 15 minutes.
- Mix in the lemon juice and ground turmeric, add a splash of tamari, salt and pepper.
- Serve over whatever you heart desires and enjoy.
