with Fresh Cilantro & White Rice
PREP: 20 min | COOK: 4-7 hrs | SERVINGS: 8
2 cups brown lentils, picked over and rinsed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, peeled and finely diced
1 medium potato, peeled and finely diced
2 tablespoons sweet chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
3 cups vegetable broth
1 (14 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
Fresh cilantro and white rice (for serving)
Combine Ingredients
Place all ingredients except for the coconut milk into the slow cooker. Stir the mixture well to ensure the spices and broth are evenly combined.
Slow Cook
Close the lid. Cook on the high setting for 4 hours or on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours. The lentils should be tender and the majority of the liquid should be absorbed by the end of the timer.
Finish with Coconut Milk
Once the cooking time is complete, stir in the full-fat coconut milk to create a creamy texture. Take a taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or pepper as needed.
Serve
Serve the creamy lentils over a bed of warm white rice. Top with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for a bright finish.
