Ingredients

3 cups red lentils1 can coconut milk1/2 cup of raisins1-3 T curry powder (depending on brand and your particular tastes, you may want to use more or less curry powder)Optional (add none, some, or all):Diced raw sweet potatoesDried split peas (green or yellow)Dried cranberriesDiced raw carrotsSpinach, Chard, or other leafy greens

Directions

Soak the lentils overnight, along with the split peas (if using). Drain the soaked lentils. You can start out without soaking your lentils, but I find I like the texture of the final dish better with presoaked lentils and peas.

Mix together in the crock pot the lentils, coconut milk (you can use full fat or light), raisins, and curry powder. Other add ins such as sweet potatoes, carrots, split peas, or dried cranberries would be added at this time as well.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. (This recipe stands up well to being cooked longer as well, but the lentils may break down a bit).

If using leafy greens, you can mix them in 30 minutes before serving, allowing them to cook lightly.

Serve by itself as a stew, over rice, pasta, potatoes, meat, or over a bed of fresh leafy greens. My favorite is to serve it over a bowlful of fresh spinach.
