What-Was-In-My-Cabinet Curried Lentils

This recipe literally lives up to the name. I'm was just super hungry & needed more protein & fiber for today, plus I wanted to make something I could munch on throughout the rest of the week. I made a huge pot of jasmine rice to go with it (b/c I'm out of basmati). Also, I get all my spices from the bulk section of Central Market, it's super cheap & perfect for infrequently used ingredients, you just spend like 50 cents on a little baggy of each. I just happened to have leftovers of all these I used, hence the hodgepodge. This is a great recipe to experiment w/ the necessary herbs & spices.

How Do I Make What-Was-In-My-Cabinet Curried Lentils?

Here is how you make What-Was-In-My-Cabinet Curried Lentils:

*****These are very loose instructions. I largely rely on my eyes & tongue to measure spices & add more as I go. This is also how I cooked the lentils. Before adding the onion/tomato/spice mixture, the lentils should be sort of "al dente."Put lentils & water in a large stock pot. Boil, covered, for 15 minutes. While boiling, heat olive oil in a large skillet (best in one with a couple inches of height to the brim) & add chopped garlic & onion. Brown lightly. Add tomatoes & tomato sauce, along with all remaining herbs & spices. Simmer for the rest of the lentils' cook time (about 10 minutes), then add to lentils & water. Simmer this all together for another 20 minutes. Pick out the whole peppers & bay leaves...or just eat around them :)TA-DAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
