Ginger-Scallion Lentil with charred scallion

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the lentil and let it ginger-scallion, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the turmeric and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a handful of herbs right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
