Bulgur and Red Lentil Pilaf with Kale

1/2 cup dried red lentils
1 T olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
1 cup uncooked bulgur wheat
3 cups chopped fresh kale, lightly packed
2 cups vegetable stock or kale
1/2 tsp salt

Pick over the lentils, rinse them well, and drain thoroughly. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin seeds, and coriander, and saute for another minute. Add the bulgur and drained lentils and stir and saute for three minutes. Add the kale, stock, and salt and bring to a simmer. Cover tightly, reduce heat to very low and cook for 25 minutes. Without disturbing the lid, turn off the heat and allow to stand 5 minutes.

Number of Servings: 4
