Every Monday I take delight in making a special effort to post my Easy, Healthy, Inexpensive meatless Monday dinner on my website or on my other social media platforms.
It is Springtime & with the warmer weather comes the spring and summer fruits. It’s also a perfect opportunity to enjoy these raw salads that are oh so good for us.
Recipes:
Curried Lentils with Coconut milk
Ingredients:
● 2 cups lentils cooked & drained
● 1 small onion chopped
●1 small ripe tomato chopped
●2 cloves fresh garlic minced
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
●2 tablespoons spicy Jamaican curry powder
● 1/8 teaspoon hot Jamaican jerk sauce
● Pinch of allspice powder
● 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
● pinch of fennel seeds
● 1 slice ginger root minced
Heat oil on low. Add garlic and fry till slightly golden. Add onion, tomato, ginger, fennel seeds, curry, allspice. Stir well. Reduce heat to simmer. Add coconut milk and jerk sauce. Stir well. Add lentils. Stir well.
Simmer for 5 minutes. If, like my hubby you prefer your lentils a bit dry, let simmer a little longer till the juice is dried out.
