Before you cook
Ingredients:
- 1-2 TbSp Oil / Butter / Ghee
- Vegetables of choice (zucchini, spinach, carrots, peas, etc.)
- Water
1. Sauté the Base
Heat your favorite oil, butter, or ghee in a deep pot. Sauté your vegetables of choice until slightly softened. You can also use a chopped medium/large tomato or ½ cup tomato puree.
2. Add the Lentil Mix
Pour contents of the pack into the vegetable base. Sauté on low to medium heat for 2–3 minutes to gently roast the spices and unlock their aroma. If cooking half pack, simply reduce amount of water in half.
3. Add Water & Cook
See chart below for water. Start with the lower end of the suggested water amount and add more if needed. Cover and cook (medium-high heat works well) until the lentils are soft, not mushy – they should be well blended.
