It is getting colder, so let's warm up!
Serves: 8 | Cook time: 1h 15m
Ingredients:
1 cup dry red lentils
1 cup dry black eyed peas
2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 tbs turmeric powder
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1-inch fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoon chili paste
1 bunch of fresh cilantro
1 cup red onion, chopped
3 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup roughly chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 inch of jaggery or 1 tsp raw sugar
1/4 teaspoon pink rock salt
Preparation:
Soak the black eyed peas and lentils, in separate containers with double the water to cover, overnight or for at least 4 hours. Drain and rinse; set aside. Chop your onion, garlic, and ginger.
In a deep pan, add coconut oil and heat on medium. Add cumin seeds and mix until they pop, being careful not to burn. Add in the ginger, garlic and onion and sauté for 4 minutes or until onion is translucent.
Add in all the spices and mix for a few seconds. Add in the celery, bell peppers, tomato and chili paste to taste and cook for 4 minutes until tender and mushy.
Add the lentils, peas, salt and 3 cups water. Cover and cook for about an hour or until the lentils are soft.
Soak rice for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse. Boil salted water, then add rice. Cook for 6 minutes. Drain.
Taste stew for salt and spice. Add spices or more water, if needed. Add half of your cilantro, and reserve the rest for serving.
Serve hot atop or alongside a bowl of rice.
Pairs well with fresh naan, roti or banana chips.
