Lentil Curry

My mother passed this recipe on to me. Really healthy and very satisfying. Also freezes really well.

Rinse lentils in strainer and sort through , removing debris.

Heat 1 tbs broth in medium soup pot.

Saute onion in broth over medium heat for 5 minutes stirring frequently , until translucent.

Add garlic , carrots , celery , and cabbage.

Continue to saut for another couple of minutes.

Add curry powder and mix to bring out its flavour.

Add rinsed and drained lentils , broth and tomatoes.

Bring to a boil , reduce heat to medium low , and simmer uncovered until lentils and vegetables are tender , about 30 minutes.

Add cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over rice / toast / etc.

I rarely have fresh cilantro so substitute 1-2tbs dried coriander.

Usually end up forgetting it altogether though.

I play fast and loose with the quantities - very forgiving recipe.

Servings are a guess , i tend to make lots and use up all the vegies i can find.
