LENTIL STEW WITH QUINOA

Steps:

• Soak quinoa in a bowl filled with cold water for 5 minutes, then drain in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse with running water - drain.
• Bring 4 cups water and tbsp salt to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the quinoa, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the quinoa has absorbed the liquid and is tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Melt the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until the onion has softened and translucent. Mix in the garlic for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes more.
• Pour in water, coconut milk. Add the molasses, coconut powder (or flakes), cinnamon sticks, curry powder and ground coriander. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then add the lentils and cook until tender (15-20 minutes). Stir frequently as the lentils cook to keep them from sticking. Be careful not to overcook because the lentils will quickly lose shape and turn to a paste.
• Once lentils are done, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the stew over a bed of quinoa.
