Quick Lentil Curry (& More Lentil Recipes!) image

This coconut lentil curry is a 30 minute easy dinner idea that's healthy and full of flavor! It's flavored with coconut milk and curry paste.

Provided by Sonja

Categories     Main Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups uncooked white or brown basmati rice, to serve (or Instant Pot basmati rice)
2 cups brown or green lentils
8 cups chopped leafy greens: spinach, kale, or chard
1 tablespoon olive oil
15-ounce can coconut milk
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the rice according to How to Cook Basmati Rice (or Instant Pot Rice).
  • Place the lentils in a saucepan with 6 cups warm water. Bring to a low boil, then boil for about 20 minutes until tender (taste to assess doneness). Drain, then add a few pinches of salt.
  • Meanwhile, wash the greens, remove the stems and chop the leaves. (If using prewashed baby spinach, you can skip this step.) In your largest skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the greens and sauté for several minutes until tender and bright green.
  • When the lentils are done, add them to the skillet with the greens. Over medium high heat, stir in the coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, tomato paste, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Cook for a few minutes until heated through and the sauce is thickened.
  • Taste and add a few pinches of salt if desired. Serve with rice.

Categories     lentils

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup lentils (see notes), rinsed
6 cups water
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
Optional aromatics: few whole garlic cloves, quartered shallot or half onion, couple sprigs of herbs ( rosemary, thyme, sage) bay leaves.

Steps:

  • Place lentils, water and salt in a medium pot over high heat.
  • Add any optional aromatics, and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, lower heat and simmer gently until cooked through. The goal here is to get them tender, yet still hold their shape.
  • Drain and use in other recipes.
  • Cooked lentils will keep up to 4 days in the fridge, or can be frozen!
  • Split lentils cook the fastest- check at 15 minutes! Small lentils take roughly 20 minutes, large brown lentils roughly 30-35 minutes. The smaller the lentils, the faster they cook, so just keep checking!

  • They're full of polyphenols. Polyphenols are active compounds that fight against harmful agents in the body—everything from ultraviolet rays and radiation to heart disease and cancer.
  • They're high in protein. Good news, vegans: One cup of lentils contains at least 18 grams of protein. You'd have to eat a whole can of chickpeas to get that much of the nutrient.
  • They're a good source of iron. One cup of lentils also has 6.5 milligrams of iron, which is about one-third of what you need for the entire day. Iron is super important for keeping oxygen pumping throughout your body.
  • They're full of fiber. Virtually every RD loves to preach about the importance of fiber—especially related to digestive health and healthy weight maintenance.
  • Lentils are good for your bones. When it comes to bone health, dairy-laden products tend to hog the spotlight, but lentils are a great option too with 35 grams of calcium per cup.
  • They're a good source of folic acid. Folic acid is an important nutrient to load up on all the time, but it's especially important when you're pregnant.
  • They're high in magnesium. If you have trouble sleeping, are stressed or overworked, your body could benefit from regular consumption of magnesium—and lentils can be a great source at 71 mg per cup of cooked lentils.

10 DELICIOUS WAYS TO EAT LENTILS - ONE GREEN PLANET

From onegreenplanet.org
  • Basic Lentil Cookery. The different types of lentils have different cooking times and uses. Brown lentils are the most common type of lentil and are probably the one people are most familiar with.
  • Lentil Soups. The first way I ever ate lentils was as a soup made from brown lentils. Today, I make a version of that lentil soup with lots of veggies.
  • Dals and Stews. Dals are basically thick, hearty stews, though the term also refers to the legumes used to make them. Most dals are made from lentils, but they can be made from other legumes or split peas.
  • Lentil Salads. Lentils, especially the green and red ones that hold their shape, are wonderful in salads. They can be added to any salad or they can be the main ingredient.
  • Lentil Dips and Spreads. The next time you’re having a party, try making some exotic lentil dips and spreads. Everyone loves hummus and we know we can make unique types of hummus by substituting other beans and legumes for the beloved chickpea, but have you ever considered making lentil hummus?
  • Crunchy Lentil Snacks. Speaking of potato chips, here is another way to enjoy a crunchy snack but so much healthier. We all love crunchy, roasted chickpeas to munch on and guess what – we can make a similar snack with lentils.
  • Lentil Desserts and Flour. What? Who wants lentils for dessert? You do! It’s not as strange as it may sound. After all, we use other legumes in desserts and in baking.
  • Lentils for Breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it only makes sense to start your morning with one of the healthiest foods.
  • Lentils as a Meat Substitute. Lentils are very popular as a replacement for ground beef because of their rich, meaty taste. My new favorite way to cook lentils is to make a vegan Bolognese sauce to serve over pasta.
  • Lentil Power Dishes. When you add lentils to a dish, you are adding power. Use lentils for making refried beans the next time you are planning a Mexican feast.
