Instructions

Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, shallot, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add salt, curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne and cook for 1 minute more. Lower heat to low.

Add coconut milk and maple syrup and stir to combine. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.

Add the drained lentils to the coconut sauce and stir. Add any addition seasoning if you would like a little stronger of a flavor.

Turn off heat, add lemon juice, and stir.

Then serve and enjoy! These are delicious served with rice and if you would like steamed or roasted vegetables. If you are not looking for vegetarian you could add grilled chicken breast!
