Quick Easy Coconut Brown Lentils Vegan

I love lentils and am trying to eat more of them. These would probably speed by in a pressure cooker but i've only done them the stovetop way so far. Inspired by both indian and indonesian cooking. You can use a 15-oz can of brown lentils to reduce the cooking time if you like, i sized it the same with 2/3 dry cup and included instructions for canned as well. The aseptic or half-gallon boxes of so delicious coconut milk would probably work well too if you just measure out 14 oz. I use 365 light coconut but light coconut milk" isn't recognized in the ingredient database. "brown lentils" also aren't recognized? 1/3 cup each of brown and green lentils would also be cool!"!

Steps

Wash and sort through the lentils to remove pebbles , bad ones , etc.
Bring the coconut milk to a low boil and add the lentils and spices but not the shredded coconut.
Loosely cover and let simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils have softened.
Fluff up the lentils and mix in the coconut so it adds a nice crunch.
Serve with veggies and rice and enjoy.
