Ingredients

⅔ cup red lentils, rinsed

⅔ teff grain, ivory

4 cups water

1⅔ cups coconut milk

1 cup sliced onions

1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons curry powder

1 ½ cups sliced carrots

1 ½ cups chopped mustard greens

  4. Stir in mustard greens, cilantro, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired.

I was happy to find a vegan main course teff recipe. I was so excited to make it, I used what I had on hand: regular brown teff, green lentils, kale, and no cilantro. I also added mushrooms. This is a very forgiving recipe because it still turned out tasty! The thick texture is very homey and comforting. I think one could use this as a jumping off point to use whatever vegetables are on hand. It's a great template to explore. I will be making it again, with the ingredients the recipe specifies.

This was so yummy. I used mixed greens instead of just mustard. You could definitely throw in any vegetables and it would still be good!
