Lentil Dahl

In the mood for something warm but it’s summer so you don’t want soup? Enter Lentil Dahl. I have this when I’m in a cozy mood and want something really warm and grounding. Plus, lentils bring a nutritional punch and are packed with magnesium, zinc, iron and potassium. They are also made up of 25% protein so are an excellent source of plant-based protein.

Ingredients

• Brown rice

• 1 yellow onion- diced

• 1-2 peppers- diced

• 1 cup carrots- chopped

Cook the brown rice.

While the rice cooks, sauté onions, peppers and carrots.

Add the seasonings, lentils and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer until lentils are just about done. Add milk until lentils are cooked.

Plate the rice and add dahl on top.
