  • 1 15 oz can full fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 15 oz can canned tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup veggie broth
  • 1 4 oz container thai red curry paste
  • 2 tbsp miso
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 large handful spinach

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, add all the spices together. Set Aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onions until they’re translucent
  • Add in the tomato sauce, coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, miso, spices, and veggie broth.
  • Mix to combine well (you may have to mash the miso) and bring to a simmer.
  • Once simmering, add in lentils and broccoli (if using) and let it come to a simmer again.
  • Then cover and let cook for 15-25 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked.
  • Stir every 5 minutes or so to prevent the lentils from sticking.
