"This recipe is vegan and gluten free. I wrote this recipe with exactly what I used - but you can use any old veggies you have in the fridge. You can also use any type of lentils - the cook time may differ however."

ingredients

14.79 ml oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 inch gingerroot, minced
1 acorn squash, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 head broccoli, cut into florets
236.59 ml brown lentils, rinsed and sorted
4.92 ml coriander powder
4.92 ml cumin powder
2.46 ml turmeric powder
2.46 ml dried chili (or to taste)
709.77 ml vegetable broth or 709.77 ml water
4.92 ml salt

directions

In a large dutch oven or soup pot cook the onion in the oil over medium high heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, cook an additional 30 seconds.
Add in all the remaining vegetables, the lentils and all of the seasoning EXCEPT the salt.
Stir until all of the veggies are coated with the spices. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
I cook mine in a pressure cooker - so I bring it to a boil and allow to cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Then I let the pressure reduce naturally which takes an additional 20 minutes or so.
If you don't plan to use a pressure cooker, just bring the mixture to a boil and allow to simmer for 40 minutes or so until the lentils are tender.
Add the salt just before serving.
Serve over brown rice.
Delicious the next day as leftovers!

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific! I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky. My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson. My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there. I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets. I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily. I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
