Sweet Red Lentils

 

1 large onion, sliced thin

2 cinnamon sticks

1 pound red lentils, dried

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger

1 pint vegetable stock

1 pint hot water

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 lemon

1 garlic clove, chopped thin

1/2 green chili, chopped or cayenne pepper

2 bay leaves

fresh coriander leaves or parsley, chopped small, garnish

salt

 

Using vegetable bouillon is easier than cooking the broth yourself.

Fry onions and garlic until soft, add cinnamon, lentils, chili, and ginger and

cook for a minute. Add stock, hot water, chili powder, and bay leaves. Boil for

10 minutes. Squeeze the lemons into the pot and then throw in the lemon rinds.

Cook for another 50 minutes. Salt to taste, and then remove the lemon rinds.
