Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Red Lentils

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating the oil in a Dutch oven. Once warm, add in all the vegetables and begin sweating them out. After 3 minutes, add in all the spices and cook for another 2 minutes. Next, add in the garlic and cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Now, add in the lentils and mix well toasting them for a 1 - 2 minutes. Pour in the stock, give it a stir and cover until cooked. Should take around 30 minutes.

    As the lentils finish, heat the corn in the microwave (it is winter) and remove from the cob. Once the lentils are complete, add in the spinach, corn and coconut milk. Finish cooking until the spinach is wilted.

    Taste for seasoning. Serve and enjoy!
