Curried Caribbean Lentils
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 fresh chile pepper, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth, divided
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; sauté the onion, carrots, salt, black pepper, and sugar in canola oil until the onion reaches a deep brown hue, taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
2
Decrease heat to medium; combine garlic, chile pepper, ginger, and curry powder in the pot. Continuously stir to blend the ingredients seamlessly, taking around 5 minutes.
3
Elevate heat to medium-high; pour in a can of vegetable broth into the onion mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated. Utilize a wooden spoon to dislodge any stubborn vegetables or curry powder stuck to the bottom of the pot. Add lentils and the remaining can of vegetable broth; cook until the lentils become tender, approximately 30 minutes.
4
Finish by stirring cilantro into the lentils before serving.
