[Recipe] Coconut lentil spread
I love coconut, lime and turmeric flavours and will take any excuse to use them in my cooking! 🙂 Last summer, in a little restaurant in the South of France, I ordered a fish dish and it came with a side of lentils with a yellow colour and coconut flavour that really stuck in my memory. I decided to try and recreate it in my own version. This dish was born.
Enjoy!

Details
- Preparation Time: 00:30
- Cuisine: Vegetarian, Vegan
Ingredients
- 1 cup lentils (your favourite kind)
- 100 ml cocunut milk
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
Preparation
- 1Cook lentils in water according to instructions. This step is important to get rid of the foam that forms during cooking. Once cooked, rinse lentils and return to pan.
- 2Stir in coconut milk and spices. Simmer on low heat until the liquid has been absorbed.
- 3Add lime juice at the end, to freshen up the mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with toasted rye bread.
- 4Note: If you want the lentils to be more as a sauce than spread, then add a little soup stock with the coconut milk and stop cooking when the consistency is to your liking.
