Gulf Coast Lentil Curry

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the lentil and let it roasted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the coconut milk and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a knob of butter right before serving.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
