Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200 g) red lentils, rinsed
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups (720 ml) low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste (start with ½ teaspoon or less)
  • Handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: quinoa or brown rice for serving
  • Optional: softly poached egg for topping

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (200 g) of red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Chop 1 medium carrot, 1 zucchini, and 1 bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and grate 1-inch piece of fresh ginger. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils with 3 cups (720 ml) of low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess liquid if needed.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Toss in chopped carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables soften but retain some crunch.
  5. Stir cooked lentils into the skillet with vegetables. Season with 1 teaspoon (5 g) turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) ground black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir well to combine flavors.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in a handful of chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon or 15 ml).
  7. Spoon into bowls and garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve warm, optionally with quinoa or brown rice and a softly poached egg on top.

Notes

Avoid overcooking lentils and vegetables to maintain pleasant texture. Use fresh herbs generously for flavor without adding purines. Salt sparingly and balance with lemon juice or vinegar. Add a splash of vegetable broth or olive oil if mixture is too dry. Softly poached egg can add protein without many purines. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
