Instructions

6 steps · tick them off as you cook
  1. On Sauté, warm olive oil and cook onion, carrot and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.

    5 minutes
  2. Stir in cumin and turmeric; toast 1 minute until fragrant.

    1 minute
  3. Add rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, scraping the bottom clean.

  4. Seal the lid and pressure-cook on High for 15 minutes.

    15 minutes
  5. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining steam.

    10 minutes
  6. Stir in fresh lemon juice, adjust seasoning and serve.

Chef's tip

Add the lemon juice only after cooking: acid added before pressure-cooking can keep lentils firm and prevent them from breaking down.

Suggested pairing

A crusty sourdough loaf and a light unoaked white round out the meal.
