vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2-3 Tbsp chopped ginger root
12 oz. split red (or other) lentils
(the lentils turn yellow when cooked; yellow ones
may turn beige!)
approx. 6 cup veggie stock (or water)
4 tsp. curry powder
large can crushed pineapple, with juice
(I used 20 oz. can because that's what I had!)
salt to taste
Recipe
Heat the vegetable. oil in a pot. Add chopped onion; saute until soft but not brown, about 10 min. Add the ginger; saute another couple of minutes.
Add the curry powder and lentils, stirring well to mix. Add the pineapple and its juice. Add the stock (or water). Bring to boil; reduce heat; cover; simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the lentils are cooked to the nearly-mush stage (add more stock/water if needed). Add salt. Serve over rice. For a whole meal, prepare a dry vegetable. curry (with potatoes, cauliflower and peas, for example) to accompany this dish.
