Madhur's Green Lentils With Lemon Slices
From Martha Stewart [1]
Ingredients
- 1 cup green lentils (about 6 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 lemon, peeled, pith removed, and thinly sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
2 hot dried red chiles
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed and peeled
Directions
- Bring lentils and 3 cups water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Cook, partially covered, until very tender, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Stir in salt and cilantro; remove from heat. Add 8 lemon slices; stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl; set aside.
- Heat oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat; add mustard seeds. After a few seconds, seeds should begin to pop; add chiles.
- When chiles have darkened, add garlic; stir to combine. Top lentils with mustard seed mixture.
