Love Them Lentils!

Curried Red Lentils with Greek Yogurt

We really like this dish, it’s a healthful, easy, delicious, and nutritious alternative for a weeknight meal.  I usually serve it along white Jasmine rice and a salad, also sometimes with naan or another crusty bread to dip with!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1/2 onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Kosher salt and ground black pepper

1-2 tablespoons curry powder

16 oz. red lentils – about 2 1/4 cups

4 cups vegetable broth (can use chicken stock if you’re not worried about the dish being vegetarian)

1 tablespoon red or white miso, mixed with 1/4 cup warm water

3-4 scallions, light green and white parts 

and Liguria (along the coast near Genoa.) The wine typically is dry, unoaked, and has citrus and mineral.  Tina’s Vermentino comes from Tuscany – the Vento Forte Vermetino from Terre Di Talamo. In addition to the citrus and mineral character, ours showed bright acidity and some hints of apple. On the palate, it had a little more body than say a Sauvignon Blanc, but not quite as much as a Chardonnay. It’s Pale gold color was lovely, and it complemented the chicken and root vegetables to a tee. If you’re not familiar with Vermentino, I urge you to pick up a bottle or two. This one was pricier than many Vermentinos, which can be found for under $20. Ciao!
