Lentil Dahl Soup

This dish is soooo easy and so delish it is a staple in our house these days. 50% of our kids like it! Okay, that is only one kid, but that is still really good!

This started as my sister-in-law’s friend’s recipe, but we have modified it qua bit:

We usually eat it over steamed or raw baby greens.  Yum!

  • 1 13.5 fl oz can coconut milk

  • chopped cilantro and lemon slices for optional garnish
Instructions
  1. Saute the onions, garlic and spices in water for a bit to mix the flavors
  2. Add remaining ingredients, and cook for about a half an hour or so until the lentils are soft. (NOTE: red lentils cook *much* faster than brown lentils)
