SETTINGS

STEAM, 210°– 212ºF

8 –10 minutes

Baking Pan

Wash the lentils, place them in the baking pan and pour over the vegetable broth. Add the

bay leaf and cook as indicated, so that the lentils are not too soft.

Meanwhile, chop the spring onions into thin rings. Wash the jalapeño pepper, halve length-

ways, remove the seeds and slice into thin slices. Cut the pepper into small cubes. Chop the

garlic.

Heat the claried butter in a pan and cook the spring onions, jalapeño pepper, red pep-

per and garlic for approximately 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Sweat the curry powder

briey and then add the cooked lentils. Mix well and heat. Season with salt and pepper and

serve the lentil curry hot.

KITCHEN TIP:

Unlike most legumes, lentils do not require soaking before cooking.
