Curried Lentils

Sometimes you can't improve on a basic recipe. This is an example. I found this recipe in an old New York Times Cookbook and I go to it again and again because it always comes out perfectly. Serve the lentils on a platter surrounded by a ring of jasmine rice. Also wonderful paired with chicken. Any type of lentil works great--I use yellow lentils.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the lentils and water in a pot. Add one of the onions and salt to taste and bring to a boil.
  2. 2
    Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30-40 minutes, until lentils are just tender. Drain.
  3. 3
    In a skillet, heat butter (or oil), add the remaining onion and garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onion just starts to brown.
  4. 4
    Add onions and garlic to the lentils. Add the curry powder and cook until very tender, about 10 more minutes.
  5. 5
    Serve with white rice and lemon wedges.
