Ingredients
-
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 large Onions, raw
6 tsp Ginger Root
4 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cumin seed, ground
.5 tsp Coriander seed
1.75 cup Canned Tomatoes, Muir Glen Fire-Roasted, Crushed (1 14.5 oz.can)
4 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
1 cup Lentils red split lentils - dry measure (by AIREDALEMOM)
.5 tsp Salt
1 lemon yields Lemon Juice
55 grams Cilantro, raw (1/4 c)
Directions
1. In a saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 min. Add the ginger, garlic, cumin, and coriander; cook, stirring, one minute.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, lentils, salt and water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until lentils are soft, 30-45 minutes (check...may be even less time than this). Transfer 2 cups of the lentil mixture to a blender or food processor and puree. Return the mixture to the saucepan and simmer until heated through, about five minutes. Serve, drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with cilantro.
Note: Doug and I like food on the high-seasoned side, I would say. So I added additional ground cumin and coriander. I am not exactly sure how much extra, but probably more like a tablespoon of ground cumin and a teaspoon of ground coriander seed.
