Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 inch piece peeled & minced turmeric root OR 1 tbsp dried turmeric
  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • ½ tsp crushed chili flakes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.

  2. Add minced garlic, turmeric, and onion; stir to combine. Saute until onions are translucent, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  3. Add chili flakes and add vegetable broth in small amounts, deglazing the bottom of the saucepan as you go. Bring to a boil.

  4. Add rinsed lentils and rice to boiling broth; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender.

  5. Add frozen kale, and continue to simmer on low for an additional 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
