coconut lentil yumness.


 


green lentil coconut yumness

*gather*
2bs butter/ghee/earth balance/coconut oil
1 large onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
5 1/2 cups or more of water
1 repunzel vegan bullion
1 1/2 cups green lentils rinsed
3 tbs unsalted butter
1/2 tbs curry powder
1/2 cup cocnut milk
fine grain sea salt
1 bunch fresh chives cut/minced/chopped


*rock it*
grab a big pot
turn to medium
melt butter
add onion/garlic/bullion
do the glaze dance
stir it, love it, want it
add lentils mix about
then water
bring to a boil 
back down to a simmer 
lid on & timer on
*this took longer than i thought*
lentils need to be tender 
might be up to 40 - 50 minutes+
i also had to add a bit of water
do what it takes

side note: 
this did not turn out as a soup
you could use your immersion blender
to partly puree or fully at this point 
(this is what i mean by making it your own)

here is the weird part
**i did a second step**
which is not a julesy/rm thing

i made the curry butter
in a small pan/pot
melt butter on medium
let it brown a bit 
till you smell that nutty scent
put in curry powder mix around
less than a minute

**super fun part**
dress the lentils 
 pour the coco milk into the pot
or you can do this individually in 
each cup/bowl too

**caution**
the beauty of the white 
going into the dark 
(pic above) 
was so gorge!!

add some salt
put in cup/bowl/vessel
top it off with curry butter & chives

enjoy
beauties
