Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup dry green lentils rinsed
1/2 cup quinoa rinsed
2 med carrots diced
2 stalks celery diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 onion finely chopped
4 cups stock (I used Massel chicken which is plant based)
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp soy sauce tamari for gluten free
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 small lemon juiced
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 cup nutritional yeast

Equipment

Pressure cooker

Method

Once prepared, place all ingredients into a pressure cooker, give it a bit of a stir and lock the lid in place.
Set the pressure cooker on high for 8 min (will take about 5 minutes to build up pressure).
Once the 8 minutes is up, leave lid locked and pressure on and allow to sit for 5 min on "keep warm".
Release pressure, remove lid and stir. ( you can leave on keep warm for a while extra if need be).
Serve as is or with some toasted Turkish bread.

Notes

Tip: This dish improves with time, so make it a day ahead, refrigerate and heat up the next day…if you can resist it. Also makes a great savoury pie filling.

Can also be made on stovetop or slow cooker but would require longer cooking times.
