- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic - minced
- 2 medium leeks - finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper - finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 2 ½ cups bone broth* sub veggie broth or regular chicken broth if desired
- 1 cup coconut milk from canned full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup dried red lentils
- ¼ cup fresh chopped Sage
- Juice from 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons miso paste + 2 tablespoons water mix them together to form a "slurry" so the miso paste disolves
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- salt to taste I added about ¼ teaspoon extra of salt, miso paste is salty so you may not need any
- 2 cups fresh spinach or greens of choice
Optional Toppings and sides
- greek yogurt
- toasted sourdough or naan
Add olive oil to a soup pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes. Add in garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric and ginger. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the spinach. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are cooked through.
Turn off heat and fold in spinach. Stir until wilted.
Divide out dahl and serve.
This makes 3-4 servings - depending on how hungry you are.
*You can use code avocadoskillet for 20% off kettle and fire bone broth.
