01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.

02

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

03

Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, diced carrot, diced zucchini, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil.

04

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

05

Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, covered. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to substitute other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or diced sweet potato. Chicken broth can be used instead of vegetable broth if preferred. Red lentils can be used, but they will cook faster and may become mushier.
