2 tablespoons vegetable broth
large onion, sliced
1teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon curry powder
2-1/2 cups water
1 cup lentils, uncooked (red or brown)
1-2 pounds fresh greens (Swiss chard or spinach)
sea salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
1) in a soup pan, saute onion, ginger and garlic in vegetable broth over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute more.
2) Add water and lentils and cook over medium-high heat until lentils are done, about 30 minutes. Once lentils are tender, add greens and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
Fresh Swiss chard is usually available year-round, but you can also use kale or collard greens. I used a large box of washed baby spinach, one pound, and it seemed about the right amount of spinach with red lentils. The meal was delicious and filling.
