Introduction

Adapted from Epicurious. I found them a bit mild, so feel free to use more spice than they call for. Adapted from Epicurious. I found them a bit mild, so feel free to use more spice than they call for.

Ingredients

    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 1/2 cups (or more) vegetable broth
    1 cup lentils, rinsed

Directions

Mix first 3 ingredients in small bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.

Add spice mixture and sauté 30 seconds. Stir in 21/2 cups vegetable broth and lentils.

Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until lentils are tender, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls if dry and stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Makes about 4 cups. I use 1/2 cup as a side serving.
