Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 medium onion
3 medium carrots
1 cup uncooked brown lentils
2 Tbsp curry powder hot or mild
15 oz can tomato sauce*
Salt to taste
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Directions
Spread the lentils out on a baking sheet to make them easier to see. Pick out any stones or debris. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a sauce pot, then add the lentils. Allow the pot to come back up to a boil, then turn the heat to low, place a lid on top, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain the cooked lentils in a colander. Meanwhile, mince the garlic and finely dice the onion and carrots. Sauté the onion, garlic, and carrots in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until the onions are transparent . Add the curry powder and sauté for one minute more. Add the cooked and drained lentils to the skillet, along with the tomato sauce. Stir and heat through . Turn the heat off, taste the lentils, and add salt if needed . Top with fresh cilantro and serve over a bed of rice, with naan, or crusty bread.
