Coconut Curry Lentils

February 27, 2020 by Gina +

Curry, I love all things curry.  I find the spices so warming and comforting, which is perfect on colder winter night.  You’ll just want cozy up and dive in.

This big pot of coconut curry lentils is a perfect grounding meal.  Savory and flavorsome.  It also serves as a great base to add lots of vegetables, like broccoli, and spinach.

It’s makes quite a generous amount.  It’s about 6 servings if you add vegetables and jasmine rice like I do.  If this is a lot for you, cut it in half.  We have it for dinner then a few lunches with the leftovers.

Summer gatherings call for dinners that basically Summer gatherings call for dinners that basically make themselves. 
These Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches are made right in my 10-quart Autuku slow cooker, which means plenty of room to feed a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen.
The simple WARM/LOW/HIGH settings make it easy to set it and forget it, and the PFOA-free ceramic pot is removable, so you can bring it right to the table when it’s time to serve.
Pile the saucy pulled chicken onto toasted brioche buns with creamy sesame pickle slaw and extra pickles. Save this one for your next summer gathering!
