In my old neighborhood, there was an amazing takeout place where I'd get Thai curry vegetables on a pretty regular basis. I didn't think I could make it, or make it healthfully for that matter - until this morning. I played around with what I had on hand and came up with the following recipe for tonight's dinner, with plenty to freeze for later cravings.


Ingredients
2 cups dry lentils
5-7 cups water
2 cups butternut squash, cubed
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
5 tablespoons curry powder (or to taste)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 tablespoon dried cilantro (or fresh)
2 cups snap peas, chopped

Directions

makes ten 1-cup servings.

Place first 5 ingredients into pot or slow cooker.
Add half of the coconut milk and the seasonings.
Let cook for 20-45 minutes on the stovetop, or if using slow cooker, 6-8 hours on low.
30 minutes before serving, add peas and taste to adjust the seasonings, if desired.



Number of Servings: 10
