Lentil Daal

This is one of my favourite recipes to cook.

It takes no time to prepare, and my boys love it too... you can just feel it nourishing your body with all of it's goodness...

olive oil
1 red onion
1 carrot
2 crushed garlic cloves
2cm sliced ginger
chilli (to taste)
salt pepper
2C red lentils
4C water with chicken stock
1-2 tomatoes frozen or fresh spinach leaves

METHOD
Heat oil over low heat and sweat onions, carrot, garlic, ginger and chilli
Add salt & pepper
Cook until fagrant
Add lentils and stir to coat with spices
Add stock
Add tomato
Cook over low heat, adding extra liquid when necessary
When lentils are soft, add spinach

We love to eat these with steamed basmati rice, topped with yoghurt and fresh coriander if you have some in the crisper, or add a touch more liquid and enjoy as a nice hearty soup.... feel the wholesome goodness nourishing your body!
