- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 4–6 Servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2–3 teaspoons Soulful Seasoning Salt ADD TO CART
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Goddess Blend (optional) ADD TO CART
- 1/4 teaspoon Spicy Pepper Blend (optional) ADD TO CART
- 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, spinach, or your favorites)
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the seasonings: Stir in garlic, ginger, Soulful Seasoning Salt, Garlic Goddess Blend, and Spicy Pepper Blend. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Simmer: Add lentils, diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.
- Add vegetables: Stir in vegetables and continue cooking until tender, about 5–10 minutes. If using carrots or cauliflower, add them earlier since they take longer to cook.
- Finish and serve: Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve over rice or with warm naan and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
This recipe is a great clean-out-the-fridge meal. Mix and match vegetables based on what you have on hand, and adjust the seasonings to your liking. For a little extra brightness, finish with an additional squeeze of fresh lime before serving.
