Like peanut butter and chocolate, lentils and curry are a beautiful marriage. Enjoy this stew as a hearty appetizer, side dish, or main course with crusty bread. If you’re feeling extra daring, put in the full bag of Southern Greens Blend—a healthy recommendation by my father-in-law and greens enthusiast Michael Reilly.

Lentils will never be the same. The curry is not overpowering, it adds the perfect amount of flavor. Very easy and very delicious.
