spicy seasoning

In this recipe, the dried lentils absorb the jerk spices and flavors for a seriously delicious dish. Full of Caribbean attitude and vegan sensibilities, you&#039;re going to love the taste and aroma of my jerk-style lentils.

Jerk-Style Lentils

olive oil

(8 oz) red onion (sliced)

Thumb-sized (about 1 tablespoon) piece of fresh ginger (grated)

jerk seasoning

maple syrup

tomato purée

garlic (finely sliced)

large (2 1/4 lbs) tomatoes (quartered)

lentils

store-bought vegetable broth or homemade vegetable stock

Scotch bonnet chile (seeded)

thyme

fresh cilantro (chopped)

scallions (sliced)

Sea salt and black pepper

Sauté

In a deep skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Stir

Stir in ginger, jerk seasoning, maple syrup, tomato purée, and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes, then add the tomatoes, lentils, vegetable stock, chile, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the lentils have softened, 35 to 45 minutes.

Serve

Sprinkle cilantro and scallions on top and serve. The lentils will keep in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.

I leave out the salt but add everything else as directed. Excellent seasoning!

This is almost perfect. I leave out the salt. If you want the flavor more intense you end up with a meal that's too salty. That's the problem with every store-bought Cajun seasoning out there-salt. Home-made should be better. I use this on anything and everything, love it!
