Carrot & Lentil Braise

1.0

Olive Oil

1 medium red onion, diced

3-4 garlic cloves, minced

600g carrots, cut into ½inch coins or half-moons

2 tbsp tomato paste

14oz crushed/diced tomatoes

1 cup green or brown lentils (red will be too soft)

2 ½-3 cups water or veg broth

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

½ tsp paprika

¼ tsp cinnamon

Pinch of chili flakes, optional

To finish

Salt & Pepper

Lemon wedges

Chopped parsley or cilantro

Olive oil drizzle, yogurt, or feta

Heat olive oil in dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5-7 minutes until soft and golden. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add carrots and stir to coat in oil. Then let them cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is some light caramelization.
Add cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, and chili flakes. Stir constantly for 30 seconds to bloom spices. Add tomato paste and cook another 1-2 minutes until paste has darkened.
Add tomatos, lentils, and 2 ½ cups liquid. Stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover partially, cook 30-40 minutes stirring every so often. Add more liquid if starts to tighten up too much.
Taste and adjust: if it tastes flat, add salt or acid before adding more spice.
Serve with finishing ideas over a grain or with some flatbread.
