Serves 4
Ingredients
1 rounded tbsp Vita Coco coconut oil
2 onions, peeled and finely sliced
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
1 tbsp medium curry paste
300g dried red lentils
1 litre hot vegetable stock
Handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
Generous pinch of sea salt
Method
1. In a large pan, heat the oil until it becomes liquid and sliced onions over a medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the onions are golden brown. Remove half of the cooked onions from the pan, and set them aside.
2. Add the garlic, turmeric, cumin and chilli flakes into the remaining onions and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in the curry paste until combined.
3. Pour in the red lentils and half of the stock, then simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add in the remaining stock and simmer until the liquid has absorbed, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.
4. Remove from the heat and stir through the reserved caramelised onions and flat leaf parsley. Season to taste with sea salt. Serve hot.
