Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 350g Washed red lentils
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- A knob of fresh ginger grated
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 Tsp Ground Coriander
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric

- Ground black pepper (a little)
- A Handful of finely chopped cherry toms

Instructions
A word of advice: seek out lentils that don’t require pre-soaking. There are loads of options around. Make sure you wash them thoroughly in a colander before using to rinse off any unwanted particles.
Chop your onion and fry it off with the garlic and ginger over a medium heat until the onions are soft. Add the tomatoes to the pan stirring in.
Mix your spices together in a pestle and mortar or a small bowl and add them to the pan with some salt and black pepper. Move around a little over a medium heat and then add the lentils and the liquids.
Then just allow that to cook on a low heat for around 35-40 mins. Moving around from time-to-time so it doesn’t stick on the bottom. I chucked in some spinach at the end too. Serve up with fresh coriander and a side of just cooked crispy green veggies. DELISH!
