Red Curry Potatoes an Lentils

What a great vegetarian dish. It's a one pot dish easy to make and clean up and it's delicious. I love my Dutch oven, it's great for this kind of hearty dish. I cooked this for my daughter who is a vegetarian and she loved it, the dish has layers of Indian and Thai flavors, two cuisines she adores...so I call it a Thai Indian fusion dish. 

Ingredients

2tbsp olive oil

1/2 onion minced

1tsp fresh cilantro minced

2 cloves garlic finely chopped

2tbsp red curry paste

6C broth

1 large potato or sweet potato diced

2 fresh diced tomatoes 

1 1/2C lentils

1 can coconut milk

Salt & Pepper to taste

Dash of cardamom 

Method

In a large Dutch oven heat olive oil on medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic and cilantro until onions are soft. 

Add red curry paste and cook for a couple min till fragrant. 

Add broth and simmer 

Add lentils

Potatoes

And tomatoes

Bring to a simmer. Add salt, pepper and small dash of cardamom. Reduce heat to low.

And cook until lentils and potatoes are soft. These dishes are great the longer they cook the flavors really marry well. 

Finally when everything is soft add in coconut milk and cook on low for 10more min or so. I cooked it longer for more flavor but it's ready whenever you are! Enjoy
