Red Lentil Curry

    I discovered this recipe when I bought red lentils for the first time, and didn't know what to make out of them. Ever since then, I have been making this at least once a week. It is delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
• Half of a red onion
• 1 tbsp curry
• 4 medium carrots, chopped
• 1 large russet potato, chopped
• 1 cup red lentils
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Naan bread and lime wedge for serving

    Chop the red onion, garlic, carrots, and potato as you heat the oil in a medium sized pot on medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots to the pot and saute until softened, about 2-3 minutes. 

    

    Stir in the curry powder. Then, add the potato, red lentils, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer on low heat for 20 minutes while stirring occasionally.

    The best way to serve this dish is with naan and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
