2 cups lentils
6 cups broth, any kind or boullion
1 onion diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoon salt or to taste
lots of ground pepper
handful of baby spinach, diced zucchini, frozen peas, mushrooms whatever tender veg you have laying around
Sauté garlic ginger onions, add spices and toast a bit more until fragrant but before it gets burnt Add lentils and broth and salt.
Simmer for as long as it takes to get lentils tender. Add more water as it gets absorbed and stir it around a bit to avoid lentils burning at the bottom (happens to the best of us, especially if you are monitoring strike comms 😅).
Add assorted veg, adjust salt if needed. I added some porcini powder or more bouillon for extra umami but totally optional.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon or whatever fancy drizzles you have (like garlic oil!).
