Curried Lentils

December 17, 2010 By Sage 7 Comments

Holy hell, these are delicious!!! I got this recipe from a friend and it’s healthy, inexpensive, easy, and scrumptious.

Curried Lentils Recipe

Curried Lentils Recipe

olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced in half-moons
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 minced garlic cloves
2 cups dried green lentils
1 can chopped tomatoes (15.5 oz)
6 cups vegetable stock, room temperature
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried basil
1 T curry powder
1 t cinnamon
1 t chili powder
½ t cloves
1 bay leaf
1 bunch spinach, fresh or frozen
1-2 T apple cider vinegar
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

In a large pot, sauté the onion, carrots and celery in a bit of olive oil until tender. Add the garlic and spices, sauté 1 minute. Stir in the lentils, tomatoes and veggie stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for an hour.

When the lentils are tender, stir in the spinach to wilt. Just before serving, stir in the vinegar, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you’re feeling it.

I’ve been eating this on its own, but someday I’ll remember to buy couscous at the Middle Eastern market to go with :) Yum!

    I cannot wait to try this recipe, thanks Sage!

    I do hope that you are not waiting for the bus in conditions similar to the beautiful winter scene at the top of your blog. Looks extremely cold. Brrrrrr

    Aw, shucks. Glad you love these as much as we do!

    For a little back story, I was originally inspired to “invent” these because I was missing the m’judra dish served at the Middle East Restaurant in Cambridge, MA. That’s got fewer veggies and includes rice, but it’s definitely got some cinnamon/clove/curry action going on, which goes so nice with lentils. Then I stumbled upon the spinach/vinegar addition in another lentil soup recipe and thought I’d give that a try. Voila!

    These keep us warm and full through many a winter night and I hope they do the same for you. Thanks for the lovely write up and photos!! Gorgeous as always…
