One-Pot Lentil Curry

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of lentils
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 can of coconut milk (approximately 7 oz)
  • 1/2 can of diced tomatoes (approximately 7 oz)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the curry powder to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow it to simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are tender. You can add a bit of water if the curry seems too thick.
  6. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve hot, preferably with a side of rice or naan bread. Enjoy your nutritious and filling one-pot lentil curry.

Quinoa Salad 

  • 1/2 cup of quinoa
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup of cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons of your favorite vinaigrette

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed.
  3. Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. Allow the quinoa to cool to room temperature. You can place it in the fridge to speed up this process.
  5. Once the quinoa is cooled, combine it with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and crumbled feta in a large bowl.
  6. Drizzle the salad with your favorite vinaigrette and mix until the salad is evenly coated. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
