Broccoli, Lentil and Cashew Saute
with rice / curry yogurt
Two curry-infused sauces lend tons of flavor to this simple dish. We love the contrast of the crunchy broccoli with the creamy yogurt sauce, so we recommend letting the broccoli retain a bit of crunch!

Broccoli, Lentil and Cashew Saute:
- Rice, uncooked white or brown - 3/4 cup
- Broccoli - 12 oz , chopped
- Ginger, fresh - 2 tsp , grated
- Garlic - 2 cloves , chopped
- Stock, any type - 1/2 cup
- Soy sauce, low-sodium - 2 Tbsp
- Curry powder - 1 tsp
- Sugar - 1 tsp

Curry Yogurt:
- Yogurt, plain or Greek - 1/2 cup

Prep
- Rice - (Skip if rice was made ahead for Monday.) For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Broccoli / Ginger / Garlic - Prep as directed. Store broccoli in one container. Combine ginger and garlic in another container. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Make saute sauce - Whisk together stock, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, curry powder, sugar and red pepper flakes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Make curry yogurt - Combine yogurt, curry powder, lemon juice and honey. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
