Ingredients for Spiced lentils with carrot Recipe

  • 1/4 Pieces yellow onion
  • 1 Pieces cloves garlic
  • 1/4 Tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 Cups Chopped carrots
  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 Tsp ground cumin
  • 0.13 Tsp cinnamon
  • 0.13 Tsp allspice
  • 0.06 Tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 Cup brown lentils
  • 3/4 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.06 Cup Chopped dried apricots or raisins
  • 3/4 Cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Directions: Spiced Lentils With Carrot Recipe

  • STEP 1.Dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and peel and dice the carrots.
  • STEP 2.Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and olive oil to a deep skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent (about five minutes).
  • STEP 3.Add the diced carrots, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, and crushed red pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for about two minutes more.
  • STEP 4.Next, add the uncooked lentils, tomato paste, raisins or chopped apricots, and broth to the skillet. Stir until the tomato paste has dissolved into the broth. Place a lid on the skillet and turn the heat up to high.
  • STEP 5.Allow the broth to come to a full boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let the lentils simmer in the broth with the lid on for 30 minutes, stirring only occasionally.
  • STEP 6.After 30 minutes the lentils and carrots should be very tender. Give the lentils a taste and add salt or pepper if needed (this will depend on the salt content of your broth, I did not add any).
  • STEP 7.Serve the spiced lentils with crusty bread for dipping, or over a bed of polenta or mashed potatoes. Top with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
