True Nature Education co-founder “Luna” Kristin Ray balances her days between being a full-time mom, wife, musician and whipping up yummy and amazing recipes in her kitchen to keep her family healthy, clean and green. Her super easy (and very yummy) dahl recipe is one you might find yourself choosing to make a staple in your own kitchen, making some at the start of every week to keep and have for lunch each day.
Luna’s Super Easy Dahl with Coconut Rice
1.5 cups of pink lentils
5 cups water
3/4 tsp of turmeric
5 tbsp olive oil
5-6 cloves of garlic
1.5 tsp salt
Put turmeric, dahl and water in pot, and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn heat off and with a fork or mixing spoon beat the lentils so they break up and get soupy.
Cut the garlic cloves lengthwise but thin, and then flash fry the garlic in the olive oil in a separate pan. (high heat, and the garlic cooks for about 1-2 minutes and turns brown) Add the garlic and oil to the lentils, and add salt. SO YUMMY~
