Lentil Curry
Think of this lentil curry recipe as a starting point - this week we're including green bell pepper, tomatoes and carrots as the vegetable but really the sky's the limit here! Once you've gotten comfortable cooking the lentils, you can add any vegetables you prefer or have on hand. A little onion, spicy peppers, or frozen vegetables would go great with Local Crate's Curry Spice Blend and coconut milk. Serve with your favorite whole grain for a delicious, filling vegetarian meal.
