ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 heaped teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 heaped teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoons turmeric
  • 3/4 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoons allspice (optional)
  • a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (****These go in right after the Allspice now**)
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (to begin with), then to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 7 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 24-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cup dried red lentils, rinsed and picked over
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • small splash of red wine vinegar (about 1/2 tablespoon)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

directions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, allspice & red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute or two, stirring to coat the onions. Add the broth, tomatoes and salt, and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, or until the lentils are tender. Stir in the lemon juice, a small splash of red wine vinegar, cilantro, and parsley. Season to taste again with kosher salt. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
