Your probably wondering... whats with the 'Quinoa Love Bowl'? Well I love them. I have been making some variation of a quinoa bowl for lunch or dinner for a while now. And like I said, I LOVE them. So I've decided to title these bad boys and hopefully start a trend, or # or whatever. Feel free to #QuinoaLoveBowl on Instagram or Facebook so I can see your quinoa bowl creations. Their is no right or wrong. Well, they gotta be healthy, I mean c'mon ;) Anywho. This one was a bit more complicated than your average quinoa bowl. But I have been wanting to make my own curried lentils for a while and tonight was the night! I of course add kale with it and quinoa along with roasted sweet potatoes (no oil) and topped with scallions. Yuuuuum.
So for the curried lentils. You'll need :
1/2 red onion (chopped)
2-4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup lentils (I used green)
2 cups vegetable broth & 2 cups water
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp pink salt
1 tsp chili flakes ;) (optional, but c'mon)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp (spicy) curry powder
1/2 tsp coriander
Optional: Serve with-
+ Green onion for topping
+ roasted sweet potato (no oil, baked in the oven plain)
+ 1/2 cup red quinoa
+ chopped kale
---
Saute the garlic & onion first. Add in spices and cook on a very low heat. Add in the lentils and toss around to coat them with the mix already in the pan. Then add in the water & broth. Bring to a boil. Then cover and bring to a simmer for about 45 minutes, until lentils are at your desired consistency. Serve with whatever you'd like! Enjoy :)
