Coconut milk adds a silky richness to these creamy lentils made with red curry paste, tomatoes, and a perfect blend of savory and aromatic spices. Lentils not only add heartiness, but also nutrition to this easy and flavorful dish. They are a great source of fiber and protein and are extremely high in folate, iron, and magnesium. Served with brown rice, this recipe provides an incredibly substantial plant-based meal. Red Curried Lentils is a warm and comforting dish, simple to make in about 40 minutes; ready while the brown rice, included in the bag, is cooking. Vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, it serves 4 - 6 and reheats and freezes well. Each month “Dinner’s in the Bag!” will present a new recipe to try, along with the ingredients to take home and create yourself. The Meal-Kits offer you the convenience of having everything gathered with all you need to make a quick and nutritious meal in your own kitchen, no planning required.
