Coconut Dal over Rice

Ginger.. garlic.. split peas.. and turmeric.  This simple, flavorful, healthy meal will keep you happily full until your next meal. I had two servings because it was addictive. Not too heavy, light and fresh, but also hefty in protein. I delved into The Ultra-Metabolism book and found this delicious recipe and followed it exactly.

Double it so you can freeze and have awesome leftovers!!!

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups yellow split peas
  • 2 TBS ginger, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 can lite unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 cup brown rice to 2 cups water
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • cilantro for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, put all ingredients (except cilantro) in on medium heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low until peas are soft – about 30 minutes or so. Add cilantro on top!
  2. While this is cooking, make the rice: 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil then set to simmer for 40 minutes or until liquid is gone. Serve coconut dal over ricecoconut da
