EARTH ANGEL VEGAN’S TASTY DAL is the perfect stew for chilly February. I like to have something warm and slightly spicy in the winter. This Dal is easy to make… I do it in the instant pot and this recipe is written for that but all the ingredients can be put in a soup pot or dutch oven and the dal can be cooked on the stove until the potatoes are tender. I hope you give this recipe a try… it is super tasty and warming.
RECIPE:
1 yellow sweet onion chopped
2 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
a dash of cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup red lentils
2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 can stewed tomatoes (15 oz)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Siracha
2-3 cups redskin potatoes chopped
3 cups water
1 bag frozen chopped spinach
Put the I pot on saute and start adding ingredients in order. The veggies get tender while I am washing and chopping the potatoes. Once all ingredients are in, secure the lid and set to manual high pressure for 10 minutes. I use natural release when done. You could add a cup of frozen green peas when you open the lid… they will naturally defrost and add a pop of color and sweetness.
I like to serve this over steamed rice with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice… It is really good over egg-free noodles too… but what isn’t good over noodles? LOL
