Ingredients
1 cup uncooked red lentils, rinsed
3 cups low sodium or no-salt-added vegetable broth (plus more for sauteing vegetables)
1 cup light coconut milk (creamed coconut, not the beverage, see note)
1/2 cup sliced leeks
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Instructions:
Place the red lentils and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, uncovered. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Add the coconut milk and vinegar. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the leeks and carrots. Cook and stir for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, adding a little more broth as needed to prevent sticking.
Add the sauteed vegetables, dried oregano, onion powder and garlic powder to the red lentils. Cook over medium-low heat for an additional 15 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Note: To make your own creamed coconut, blend 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup water in a high-powered blender until smooth.
