Lemon Lentils with Kale
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 4 thyme sprigs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 pound green lentils
  • 1 bunch dinosaur kale, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking surface by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Next, add the sliced onion and chopped carrot to the pan; continue stirring until they become tender and soft, approximately 4 minutes.
2
Then, incorporate the thyme sprigs, minced garlic, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the pan; stir constantly for 1 minute to allow these flavors to meld together.
3
After that, pour in the chicken broth, add diced tomatoes and their juice, and stir in cooked lentils; cover your skillet to allow the flavors to blend.
4
Continue cooking until the lentils are tender, roughly 40 minutes.
5
Now, add chopped kale, grated lemon zest, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the pan; continue stirring until the kale has wilted, approximately 5 minutes.

Finally, season your dish with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
