I feel like Martha Stewart's voice over on Everyday Food: "Have you tried French lentils? Make these legumes part of your everyday meals". Except, I will say, these aren't all that everyday as they took a few hours to cook. We had this dish at friend's place the other week and I begged him for the recipe. He is one of those cooks that doesn't seem to ever follow a recipe so when you ask for one of his it's "a little of this, a little of that". This made interpreting his recipe a bit tough, but I was determined. They did not come out quite like his, but they were still delicious. I served them with grilled sausages since my husband loves French food.
2 cups French lentils
2 cups coconut milk
bay leaf
chili pepper
1 T fresh ginger
1 T tomato paste
t ground cumin
t turmeric
t asafoetida
t ground coriander
1 stick of cinnamon
cardamom pod
Simmer lentils in coconut milk and 4 cups water (you may need to add more water along the way), bay leaf and chili. After about 30 minutes, add remainder of ingredients and let simmer for 2 hours, covered, until lentils are soft. Drizzle olive oil, sprinkle with salt and add freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
