Curry Lentils with Greens

Curry Lentils with Greens made good use of the Swiss chard I bought at the Farmer's market Saturday.

1 cup lentils
4 or 5 large fronds Swiss chard, cut into one inch strips
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
½ large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, diced
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
About 4 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. hot curry powder
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. coriander
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. turmeric
½ tsp. paprika
¼ tsp. pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper

1) In medium kettle, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté a few minutes.

2) Add carrot and garlic and sauté a couple of minutes. Add more olive oil, as needed.

3) Add all spices and stir them together with onions, carrot and garlic.

4) Add vegetable broth and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.

5) Stir in Swiss chard and cover pot. Simmer for about 20 minutes until lentils are firm but tender.

6) Serve with rice, quinoa, couscous or naan.

Makes 4 side servings or two main dish servings.
