Hearty Coconut Lentil & Spinach Stew

How to make it

1. 1

   First, grab your yellow onion and dice it up nicely. Aim for small, even pieces.

2. 2

   Next, get a medium-sized pot and place it over medium heat. Add a tiny splash of your favorite cooking oil, then toss in the diced onion. Cook it for about 5 minutes, stirring once in a while, until it softens and turns a bit translucent.

3. 3

   Now, stir in the mild curry paste with the softened onions. Let it cook for just one more minute, stirring gently, until your kitchen smells wonderfully fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the red lentils and the full-fat coconut milk into the pot. Don't waste that delicious coconut goodness in the can. Fill the empty can with water and add that to the pot too. Give everything a good stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. 5

   Once it's simmering, reduce the heat to low, put a lid on your pot, and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the lentils are tender and have soaked up most of the liquid. Remember to stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom.

   Finally, stir in the fresh spinach. It will wilt down super quickly, usually in just a minute or two. Taste and add a pinch of salt and pepper if you like. Serve this warm and comforting stew right away!
