Exotic Lentil Stew

I came up with this recipe when I was trying to figure out what on earth I could do with a can of lentils. I found inspiration in a vegetarian world kitchen cookbook (link will be added later, I forget the exact title of the book right now). Anywho, this recipe is perfect for a chilly autumn night, and leftovers can be turned into a hearty soup by adding some vegetable stock and mixing.

Ingredients

• a can of lentils
• 200ml of coconut milk
• one large onion, or two smaller ones
• 2 or 3 large tomatoes
• indian spices
• salt, pepper
• olive oil

Cut the onion into large chunks. Cut the tomatoes into large cubes and remove the seeds. Sauté the onion in some olive oil. Add the tomatoes and stir for a few minutes. Then add the can of lentils and the coconut milk. Season with plenty of indian spices and some salt and pepper. Let the stew simmer for 10-15 minutes so the vegatables get soft and creamy. Serve with some tasty dark bread.
