Instructions
 

  • Sautée garlic, onions, lentils, and mushrooms on medium to med high heat until mushrooms look done.
  • Turn up heat a bit add tomatoes and carrots. Stir continuously until tomatoes break apart. Tomatoes should make it a bit watery.
  • When the heat is high add 1/4 cup of water and cover immediately. The water should evaporate quickly but help steam the lentils.
  • Turn down the heat to low and add more water until there is enough to line the bottom of the wok (or large pan works - in either), add soy sauce and or miso.
  • Stir and simmer the lentils half-covered until tender.
  • Add cumin, turmeric, red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
