50 min6 servingsEasyMediterranean

Ingredients

  • 1,5 cup brown lentils, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrot, diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 400 g diced tomatoes
  • 5 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    On Sauté, warm olive oil and cook onion, carrot and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 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.
