Coconut, Spinach and Red Lentil Dhal

1. In a large wok, put the coconut oil on the heat.

2. When the oil has turned to liquid and is hot, add the chopped onions, minced garlic and ginger. Leave on the heat, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes.

3. Sprinkle in all of the spices and mix in. Then add the lentils, water and coconut milk. Stir then cover with a lid, turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Let it boil for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, turn the heat down and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the lentils are nice & soft. Keep stirring the mix to stop it sticking. Add extra water if needed.

4. Scatter the spinach all over the mixture and mix in until equally distributed. Cook for a further few minutes.

Pour into your favourite bowl or serving dish for sharing or spoon onto your plate for a lovely wholesome meal! This meal is very filling, but I did have seconds (thats how good it is).

If your wanting a whole meal, I would suggest serving up with some wholegrain or white boiled rice! Goes down a treat with the family. Even throw in a vegan naan bread or pitta.

I would have sprinkled chia seeds all over the top, but I unfortunately have ran out and need to purchase some more! But I did have some golden linseed sitting on my shelf so I substituted! It was very tasty.
