A quick and easy version of Eritrean/Ethiopian lentils. Could also be called curry lentils. The great thing is that you can leave this at a simmer and walk away, just stirring occasionally and adding more water until you reach the desired consistency.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1-1 1/2 cup red lentil
1-2 cup coconut milk
3-4 cups water
1 tablespoon madras curry
2 onions
2-3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt

Directions

1
Chop onions and garlic finely.
2
Sauté in oil over heat in a large pot
3
Add Madras curry and sauté a few more seconds.
4
Add red lentils and coconut milk.
5
Stir and let mixture sit a few moments.
6
Add water.
7
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until this has reached a nice mushy, stew-y consistency. Remove from heat and salt liberally to taste (may need a teaspoon or more of salt).
8
Serve over injera, rice or just eat plain with bread. Freezes well. Reheats well.

This was an incredibly easy, flavorful dish. I served this on a bed of bulgur and a salad-even my kids loved it!

Delicious! Made the whole batch with brown rice. Very hearty. It thickened as it sat and was perfect. My daughter can cook!

Delicious. I ate it with some whole wheat pita bread. Serving it with rice will likely be the way I serve it next time. I followed the higher amount on all the ingredients with a range listed. It turned out a thinner than I would have liked and will likely reduce the amount of liquid to the lower edge of the given ranges to thicken it more easily without long periods of boiling to cook off some of the liquid. The taste was even better the second day. Thanks.
