Serve this simple braised lentil recipe with rice and a fresh cucumber salad for a nutrient-dense vegan meal. I use a 3.5 quart enameled cast iron braiser for this recipe. I highly recommend investing in one of these pans. The heavy, tight-fitting lid allows steam to circulate and cook your food to perfection.
