Ingredients

1 cup dry split red lentils (rinsed well)
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 medium yellow onion (diced - about 2 cups)
2 medium cloves garlic (minced)
2 1/2 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional; adds some extra heat)
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1 14-ounce can lite coconut milk
1 cup frozen peas
Rice
Cilantro

Steps:

To a 4-quart or larger slow cooker, add the lentils, chickpeas, onion, garlic, potatoes, vegetable broth, curry powder, cayenne pepper if using, and salt. Stir, place the lid on the slow cooker, and cook on low for 7-8 hours (high for about 4 hours), until the potatoes and lentils are cooked through. It'll be relatively thick until you do the next step.
About 30 minutes before eating, start cooking your rice and stir in the coconut milk and peas. Continue cooking on low for another 20-30 minutes.
Taste and add additional salt if desired.
To serve, add some rice to your bowl plus the curry. Top with fresh cilantro. That's it!

SLOW COOKER MASHED RED POTATOES WITH PARMESAN

Slow Cooker Mashed Red Potatoes With Parmesan image

When there's no space on the stovetop to boil and mash potatoes, braise and mash them in a slow cooker - an easy and forgiving one-pot method. This rustic version has big flavors, thanks to the garlic that's cooked and smashed with the potatoes. The five garlic cloves lends a fairly assertive flavor, so decrease it to 2 or 3 cloves if you want a more subtle effect. You can leave the dish on warm for up to 3 hours after you mash the potatoes, just stir in the Parmesan and parsley right before serving.
