So — I bravely grabbed a package of organic red lentils thinking they could keep well for awhile if stores did end up closing down for awhike …. I recalled reading that these lentils are gluten-free AND fairly high in protein (approx 1 gram per TBSP, not bad). PLUS- let’s just admit, they are PRETTY.

Alright… so then I went in search of recipes and quickly realized most red lentil recipes are soups- which just isn’t doing it for me right now…. And then BOOM, I found this one for Turmeric and Red Lentil Vegetarian Dal (one-pot!).

Hi -yes - you had me at ONE POT.

And also turmeric (see my previous posts on this superfood).
This dish did NOT disappoint. It was easy AND it is SO good. Highly recommend.
