We also like to serve it with <a href='quick_flat_bread.html'>flat bread</a>.</p><p>This dish is also delicious with <a href='chili_pepper_flakes'>chili pepper flakes</a>.</p><p>Another alternative is to serve it as a side dish, to omit the lentils, add more vegetables and to cook them with the same spices in a pan. </p><p><b class='head'>Substitutions</b></p><p>The recipe works well with most vegetables, it's easy to adapt and won't affect the taste or cooking time of the dish. Take note that adding red cabbage instead of green will alter the colour of the dish. Cooking the lentils with water instead of vegetable broth is possible, the spices add enough flavor. I also sometimes add konbu dashi as a more neutral base.</p><p>For a more complex taste, add cardamom, fenugreek seeds and cinnamon.</p><p>Only use shelled lentils, as whole lentils take longer to cook and the vegetables will soften too much. An alternative is to use <a href='sprouting.html#garbanzo' target='_blank'>sprouted whole brown lentils</a>, they'll cook as quickly as red lentils and are more nutritious.</p></div><dl class='ingredients'><h3>lentils</h3><dt><a href='olive_oil.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/olive_oil.png'/><b>olive oil</b></a><u>15 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='yellow_onion.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/yellow_onion.png'/><b>yellow onion</b></a><u>1 medium</u></dt><dt><a href='black_pepper.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/black_pepper.png'/><b>black pepper</b></a><u>1.25 g</u></dt><dt><a href='cumin_seeds.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/cumin_seeds.png'/><b>cumin seeds</b></a><u>2 g</u></dt><dt><a href='ground_turmeric.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/ground_turmeric.png'/><b>ground turmeric</b></a><u>1.25 g</u></dt><dt><a href='carrots.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/carrots.png'/><b>carrots</b></a><u>1 medium</u></dt><dt><a href='potatoes.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/potatoes.png'/><b>potatoes</b></a><u>2, medium</u></dt><dt><a href='green_cabbage.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/green_cabbage.png'/><b>green cabbage</b></a><u>230 g</u></dt><dt><a href='salt.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/salt.png'/><b>salt</b></a><u>1.25 g</u></dt><dt><a href='red_lentils.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/red_lentils.png'/><b>red lentils</b></a><u>100 g</u></dt><dt><a href='vegetable_bouillon.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/vegetable_bouillon.png'/><b>vegetable bouillon</b></a><u>350 ml</u></dt></dl><ul class='instructions'><li>Heat a pot at medium heat, then coat bottom with <i>15 ml (1 tbsp)</i> of <a href='olive_oil.html'>olive oil</a>.
