Here is how you make Spicey Lentil Quinoa Dish - Low Sodium, Vegan:

This dish makes at least 8 1 Cup servings. In your favorite 6 quart cooking pot (the deep one that's bigger than the one you use to boil eggs in) melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until just browning (and smells great!). Add the dry spices (except nutritional yeast) and stir quickly until blended into a paste then quickly add dry lentils and quinoa and stir until coated with the spice mixture then immediately add purified water all the way up to about 1.5-2 inches from the top of the pot. Stir a bit and leave on medium heat and cover. When water comes to a boil, use a flat slotted stirring implement to and stir every 15 minutes to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom. Cover each time you finish. Cook for 60-90 minutes until lentils are tender. The last 10 minutes of cooking time add nutritional yeast flakes to thicken the mixture and stir continuously. If you want your mixture to be thin like a soup, do not add the flakes. If you want your mixture to be thicker, then use less water in the beginning and possibly more nutritional yeast flakes (although this will alter the flavor). You will need to experiment to your own desire. Pour over orzo pasta or brown basmati rice. You may choose to top with plain yogurt. It does freeze well.
