Rockin’ Red Lentil Sauce

Ingredients:
1 shallot
2 cups red lentils
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp. turmeric fresh or powder
Dash of salt and pepper (to taste)
Curry powder to taste
2 tbs coconut oil to fry
3-4 cups of water or coconut milk

Optional:
3 sun-dried tomatoes, or sambal oelek

Instructions:
Chop the onion and garlic and then fry both together in a pan coated in coconut oil. Let cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften. Add turmeric, black pepper, curry powder and salt. Stir and let cook for another 3-4 minutes (until the spices become aromatic). Add the lentils and maybe some more coconut oil if it gets dry. Add water or coconut milk and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Now you take out your blender. Put the lentils sauce in your blender and blend on low speed. Be careful as the lentils get really hot, put a towel over your blender lock just in case and let the heat come out now and than by lifting the lid a little. Blend until smooth.

For added taste, you might want to add sun-dried tomatoes or additional curry.

Pour over rice with cooked cauliflower, broccoli, haricot verts or any veggies of your choice.
