Preparation

Chef’s notes

The vegetables will slightly break down, and red lentils are naturally kind of soupy, so the combo creates kind of a semi-pureed texture which is really, really yummy (and doesn’t require a blender).
If you use frozen vegetables, they get mushy faster, so I’d recommend cooking for more like 4 minutes instead of 5!
To make this on the stovetop:
saute the onion and garlic in a little bit of olive oil, add vegetables, lentils, and liquids, and simmer for 10 minutes or until everything is tender. Keep over low heat to let it gradually thicken as the vegetables break down, or use an immersion blender to get a semi-pureed texture.
If you are strictly vegan, the Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste (our fav!) is vegan-friendly.
