Prep time: 20 minutes | Cook time: 25 minutes | Serving size: 2 meals or 4 sides
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup chopped green onions (3-4)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 3 cup vegetable stock
- 1 cup lentils
- 1 piece kombu *optional
- Lemongrass stalk, cut into 3 inch long strips
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger root
- 1 Tbsp tamari
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup green beans, diced
- 1 cup collard greens, chopped
- ½ lime, zested and juiced
- Toasted coconut * optional
Cashew cilantro Crème
- ½ cup cashews, soaked at least 2 hours
- ½ lime, juiced
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- ½ cup coconut milk
Directions:
- In a large stockpot melt the coconut oil. Add the green onions and garlic and cook for roughly 3 minutes, until you can smell the garlic.
- Add coconut milk, vegetable stock, lentils, kombu, lemongrass, ginger, tamari, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the green beans and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add the collard greens, lime juice, and lime zest and simmer until wilted.
- To make the cashew cilantro crème, combine the cashews, lime juice, cilantro and water in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve hot with cashew cilantro crème and garnish with toasted coconut.
NOTE: Kombu is a sea vegetable that helps to make the lentils less magical if you know what I mean. The best place to find it is natural food stores or Asian grocery stores.
