Masoor Dal

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts becoming translucent, about 2 minutes. Add all the spices (do not add the ginger and bay leaf yet) and continue to cook for about a minute. Add the bell pepper and tomato and cook for another minute.

Add 590 ml of water and the lentils, ginger and bay leaf. Add salt to taste, lower the heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the lemon zest and juice and stir.

Optionally, serve alongside gluten-free flatbread, over white rice and garnished with chopped parsley and green onions.
