Step 1

Roughly chop your onion and place into a large pot with the olive oil.

Step 2

Cook the onions until they are translucent. In fact, if you know how to caramelize onions, go for it.

Step 3

Add your red lentils to the pot and stir.

Step 4

Add the coconut milk to the pot and bring to a low boil.

Step 5

Add all other ingredients. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the beans from burning on the bottom of the pot. Keep this at a low simmer.

Step 6

Stew is finished when the lentils are soft and fully cooked.

Step 7

Add salt and pepper to taste.
