Sprouted Lentil Curry & Toasted Crunchy Mix Topping

First Up:

You will need to sprout 1/2 cup of lentil seeds 2 days before making this recipe. I used a combination of our Brown Lentil & Green Blonde Lentil seeds for this recipe. Crunchy Mix can be purchased for a number of our fresh sprout stockist or sprout 1/4 cup of crunchy mix seeds 3-4 days before.   

 

Curry Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced finely
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 4 tsp mild curry powder
  • 2 cups of broccoli and carrot diced
  • 1 400gm tin of tomatoes crushed
  • 1 400gm tin coconut milk
  • 150gm baby spinach
  • 1 small lemon
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Rice or quinoa 

Toasted Crunchy Ingredients:

  • 20gm Butter
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 120gm Crunchy Sprouted Mix 

Method:

  1. Add oil to a large and deep frying pan, turn heat on low.
  2. Once the pan is hot, sauté onions, garlic and ginger for five minutes. 
  3. Next add curry power, carrot and broccoli. Sauté veggies for two minutes.
  4. Add the tinned tomatoes, coconut milk and mix well. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, simmer for 15 minutes. Stirring occasionally. 
  5. In a small pot melt butter and add in crushed garlic, once the butter is bubble reduce heat to low and add in crunchy sprout mix. Sauté for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the crunchiness of the mix you desire. When ready set aside to cool. 
  6. Add lentils to the curry mixture along with the spinach, mix and then simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and season with salt and pepper, mix well and taste test adjust with extra lemon or salt if needed.
