Prep: 5 min
Cook: 10 min
Total: 15 min

Ingredients for 5 servings

Serving size ~1 1/2 cups

STEPS

Step 1

Set Instant Pot (or multi-function slow cooker) to “Saute.”  Add oil, onion, garlic and carrots.  Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until the onions are caramelized (brown) and the edges of the carrots are seared.

Step 2

Add the red curry paste and the lentils, and mix everything together for 1 to 3 minutes, ensuring that each lentil is our covered in paste and oil.  Turn the Saute function off.

Step 3

Add the remaining ingredients and stir.  Place on the top and set the Instant Pot on the “Pressure Cook” setting.  Allow it to heat up first, then cook for 6 to 8 minutes for creamy lentils with a little bit of texture; or, 8 to 10 minutes for creamy, smooth lentils with every individual lentil texture.  Season to taste with a bit of sea salt & pepper, then garnish with fresh cilantro and lime.
