Red Lentil Coconut Curry with Peppers & AvocadoRed Lentil Coconut Curry with Peppers & Avocado — a 45-minute dinner recipe with 14 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 avocados

710 ml chicken or vegetable broth

1 ½ small bunches cilantro

1 ½ (398 ml) cans coconut milk

3 (398 ml) cans diced tomatoes

6 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

3 jalapeño peppers

3 red bell peppers

1 medium red onion

curry powder

extra virgin olive oil

red lentils, dried

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and mince the garlic and red onion. Peel and mince or grate the ginger.

Heat a large pot over medium heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Add the garlic, onion, and ginger to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes.

Quarter the jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs of the jalapeños with a spoon. Finely dice (Be careful, with jalapeños, do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing).

Small dice the bell peppers. Add the jalapeños, bell peppers, curry powder, and salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and broth to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat, then add the red lentils. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, 22-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, halve and pit the avocados; slice crosswise while still in the skin and scoop out with a spoon.

Shave the cilantro leaves off the stems; discard the stems and mince the leaves.

To serve, divide the lentil curry between bowls; top with sliced avocado and minced cilantro. Enjoy!
