Ingredients:
Curry:
1 chopped onion
3 cloves of chopped garlic
4 tablespoons curry powder
1 large can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cups water
1 can of coconut milk (full fat or light)
2 cups dried red lentils
1 can of drained and rinsed chickpeas
1/2 cup frozen peas
1-2 tsp salt for seasoning
Quinoa:
2 cups quinoa
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
Sautéed Vegetables:
2 sliced bell peppers
1 sliced onion
2 cups broccoli (frozen or fresh)
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1-2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cumin
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, sauté the chopped onion and garlic together for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the curry powder and continue sautéing for an additional 3-5 minutes.
3. Introduce diced tomatoes, water, canned coconut milk, red lentils, and chickpeas.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and let cook for around 20 minutes.
5. Rinse the quinoa and add it to the pot along with 3 1/2 cups of vegetable broth (or water). Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat once liquid is absorbed, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.
6. Sauté sliced vegetables in a separate saucepan over medium heat along with garlic, onion, and cumin powder for approximately 10 minutes until they soften. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
7. The curry is ready when the red lentils are fully cooked, typically taking about 20 minutes. Mix in the frozen peas and salt, then remove from heat and let cool.
Let all components cool down and assemble your meal prep containers*. For 5 servings, distribute approximately 1 cup of quinoa, 1 1/2 cups of curry, and 1 cup of cooked vegetables in each container. Refrigerate or freeze and savor!
*Glass containers are the best option, but if using plastic, transfer the meal to a glass or ceramic dish before reheating.
