Curried Lentil and Rice Stew

INSTANT POT CURRIED LENTIL AND RICE CASSEROLE-1

Use your Instant Pot to create a hearty meal in minutes! If you have a large pressure cooker, you may want to double this recipe to have leftovers on hand! I like to place leftovers in a small pot, add a little water, and heat gently on the stove. Feel free to add other veggies you have on hand—potatoes, rutabaga, or sweet potatoes are great additions. Just be sure to cut them into large enough pieces, otherwise pressure cooking will turn them to mush.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onions chopped
1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoons turmeric powder
1½ teaspoons sea salt
3 large carrots chopped
1½ cups black beluga lentils sorted and rinsed
¾ cups long grain brown rice
6 cups water
3 cups chopped kale

Garnish

½ cups chopped cilantro

This was fantastic! So warming, comforting, filling, and nutritious - yum! I added rutabaga and topped with coconut yogurt and cilantro. I don't own an instant pot, so I did it on the stovetop, and it worked out great. Thanks for another amazing recipe!!

Doubled this in my instant pot (ended up taking 16 minutes at pressure with extra amount) and have enough for 2 dinners, 2 lunches, and still have about half the total to freeze for later! Very tasty, will make again for sure. Topped it with raw cilantro lime chutney and plain coconut milk yogurt.
