This is a wonderful Indian dish I found on another recipe site. I added the lamb and zucchini. I served this with fresh rolls sprinkled with zatar. The lamb could be left out for a delicious vegetarian dish.
Ingredients:
6 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced green onions
2 carrots, chopped
1 zucchini, cut into bite size pieces
1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 cup snipped cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
1/2 lb cubed lamb, precooked
Directions:
1. Combine broth, green onions, carrots, lentils, ginger, curry powder, cumin and red pepper, zucchini and cooked lamb.
2. Bring to boil; reduce heat.
3. Simmer covered, for 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
4. Stir in snipped cilantro; cook for 1 minute more.
5. If desired, top each serving with sour cream and garnish with cilantro sprigs.
