- 4 oz lentils
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 head cauliflower
- 16 oz canned tomatoes
- coconut milk
- lime
- avocado
- cilantro
- 8 oz lentils
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 onion
- 1 head cauliflower
- 32 oz canned tomatoes
- coconut milk
- lime
- avocado
- cilantro
Instructions
- Chop the onion and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces
- Heat a large pan with oil or butter and add in veggies + spices
- Cook for about 7-10 minutes, until onions are translucent and caulifower develops some color
- Add the lentils in and let toast for 1-2 minutes
- Add in the tomatoes and coconut milk, stir, and season. Raise the heat and brign to a boil, then reduce heat to to low, cover with a lid, and let simmer for at least 15 minutes (the longer the better, though)
- Serve with the quinoa and finish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and avocado
- The longer you let the curry simmer the better, so feel free to start cooking early and let the flavors develop over time
- Curry keeps great in the fridge (some argue it's even better the next day!) so don't be afraid to cook extras
