Ingredients

  

• olive oil
• chopped onions
• curry powder
• lentils I used red here, but any lentil will work
• cooked rice
• diced tomatoes
• additional water or chicken or veggie broth if necessary
• balsamic vinegar or red wine or cider
• salt and pepper to taste
• greens like spinach or kale
• polish or other sausage

Instructions

 

• Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat.
• Saute onions in oil for several minutes or until golden and limp.
• Sprinkle with curry powder and stir again.
• Add lentils and water to cover plus a bit more (depending on how soupy — or not — you want it to be). Bring to a boil.
• When boiling, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until just tender (do not overcook). Length of time will depend on what kind of lentils you're using.
• Add cooked rice and tomatoes and bring back to up the boil to heat through.
• Add more liquid if necessary (water or chicken or veggie broth will work here).
• Stir in a couple tablespoons of balsamic or other vinegar, and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir in spinach or other green, and cook a couple more minutes or just until wilted.
• Fry up or grill some sausages, and serve on top of hot lentil-rice stew.
