I've made this Spiced Lentils with Carrots recipe three times in the past three months or so, and we really love it. It's super-easy to prepare, extremely flavorful, very healthy, and quite filling (if served over polenta, as in the photo, or over rice).
We are not vegetarians by any means, but have been consciously trying to eat 2 or 3 meatless dinners, each week, because animal proteins have become crazy-expensive since the start of the COVID pandemic. Dishes like this one make that goal very easy!
NOTE: I've used just a tiny bit more ginger, cumin, cinnamon, tomato paste, and (yellow) raisins in the recipe, the last two times I've made it, and this change really elevates the exotic nature of the finished dish!
