French lentils are my favorite lentil to cook with! Cooking them in the instant pot makes them a breeze. This recipe comes out very thick like a super thick stew or risotto type consistency. If you want to make it into a soup add an extra cup or two of broth.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups French lentils
2 cups water
2 cups vegetable broth
3 carrots sliced
1 onion diced
3 garlic cloves chopped
Half bunch of cilantro chopped
1/2 cup sweet frozen corn kernels
2-3 teaspoons Garam Masala or curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon herbs blend or just basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 can of tomato paste
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons olive oil after cooking
Combine all ingredients in pressure cooker and set to manual high for 12 minutes. When finished cooking quick release pressure. Stir and add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and more salt to taste if needed. Serve with basmati rice or fresh naan bread.
