Lentil Dal

Heat oil (FAT), sauté onion until golden and sweet, about 5 minutes

Add garlic, ginger (HEAT), and all spices. Cook 1 minute until fragrant - this blooms the spices

Add lentils, stock, coconut milk (FAT). Bring to boil

Reduce heat, simmer 20 minutes until lentils are soft and creamy

Stir in spinach until wilted. Taste and add salt (SALT) - lentils need more than you think

Finish with lemon juice (ACID) - this brightens everything. Taste again

Serve over brown rice, garnish with fresh coriander and drizzle of olive oil
