with kale and avocado

Active: 20 min Total: 30 min
I really stretched my imagination for this one, but the result is something tasty, unique, and healthy all at the same time. But don't get sketched out by all the 'greenness.' Rich coconut milk and fragrant curry paste adds flavor to anything!

Make

  1. Drain lentils. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pour in coconut milk and whisk in curry paste. Next add onions and kale stems with some salt. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened but crunchy. Add in lentils, sugar, salt, and broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer until lentils are softened, ~15 minutes.
  2. While lentils are cooking, cube avocado.
  3. When lentils are cooked through, add in kale leaves and toss through until leaves are cooked. You might still have some excess liquid - that's fine, just consider it a curry sauce. Season to taste with salt and add in lime juice. Enjoy topped with avocado.
