1 (4 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 large clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 teaspoons ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ cup red lentils

¾ cup hot vegetable stock

1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

1 large carrot, peeled and diced

½ cup frozen green beans, thawed

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over low heat and cook onion, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent about 10 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin, and turmeric and cook, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes. Stir in lentils and pour in vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
