How to make it

  1. 1

    Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 2

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, red curry paste, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.

  3. 3

    Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. If it gets too thick, add a splash more water.

  4. 4

    Stir in the fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are warmed through.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot with your favorite grains or flatbread.
