INGREDIENTS

• 1 Tbsp organic butter or virgin
  coconut oil


• 1/2 onion, chopped


• 1 clove garlic, chopped


• 2 tsp turmeric powder


• 2 tsp curry powder


• 2 tsp cumin powder


• 1 Tbsp ginger, grated


• 1.5 cups red lentils*


• 4.5 + cups purified water


• 1 bay leaf


• 1 medium sweet potato, cubed


• 1 medium bunch kale, stems
  removed, or spinach.


• ½ tsp unrefined salt


• Fresh (or dried) chilli to
  taste. The habanero variety
  add great flavour, but are
  ferociously hot.

**OPTIONAL**

• 1 can of coconut milk in place
  of some of the water

**NOTE** soaking the lentils for a

few hours before cooking will make

them more digestible.

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat coconut oil or butter
   in a medium size pot. Add
   onion, garlic and spices
   and sauté gently for five
   minutes.


2. Add soaked lentils, bay
   leaf and water. Bring to a
   gentle boil and remove any
   foam from the surface.


3. Turn down the
   temperature to simmer.
   4. Add potatoes, carrots,
   etc. to the pot first.
   5. Continue to simmer for
   about 30-45 min.
   6. Add the greens (kale
   or spinach) five minutes
   before serving.
   7. When lentils are very soft
   (like a puree) and veggies
   are cooked, add salt to
   taste.
   8. Serve over rice, or similar
   — or eat as is with crusty
   buttered bread.

**Other vegetables:

zucchini, cauliflower,

eggplant, peas etc. can be

added, no problem**CTA

l rrrrrrryyyyy

WHEN OUT somewhere remote its best to

have your wits about you. That’s why for this

Great Australian Bight issue, we think a nice,

wholesome, energy-packed lentil curry is the

right dish for the region. You can chow down

with gusto the night before, your belly warmed

and contented before bedtime, and yet be

up raring to go, full of vim and vigour right

on daybreak, regardless of any nasty howling

onshore Southern Ocean buster.

A campsite meal that'll have you

chanting

So long as you keep them nice

and dry, lentils keep for ages

A hot, steaming and tasty meal. Just

add water, spices and a dash of love
