French Green Lentils
Makes about 6 cups
French green lentils have a distinctive and delicious peppery
flavor. Look for them in natural food stores and fine food markets.
Brown lentils may be used as a substitute. Increase the cooking
time to 50 minutes.
- 1 cup French green lentils
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 large onion, chopped
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ⅛–¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ½ teaspoon salt
Rinse lentils and place in a large pot with vegetable broth, onion
and cilantro.
Combine mustard seeds, turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and
cayenne in a small skillet. Toast over medium-high heat, stirring
constantly, until spices are fragrant and just begin to smoke, about
2 minutes. Add to lentils.
Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Add
salt to taste.
