Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 2.5 cups dry green lentils
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 cup passata
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander

Spices & Seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp of salt or to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by roughly chopping your onions. Warm up a pressure cooker on medium-high heat, add oil and chopped onions. Cook until onions become translucent.

  2. Add lentils, water, passata and spices. Close your pressure cooker, make sure the steam nozzle is turned off, and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. We use the bean/chili feature on our Instant Pot.

  3. Carefully let the steam out of your pressure cooker according to the manufacturers instructions. ***Remove the lid add another 2 cups of water and stir.*** Lower the heat and let simmer for another 10 minutes. 

  4. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, bread and some fresh herbs of your choice.  Enjoy!
