Creamy Lentil Curry with Rice and Roasted Root Vegetables

Posted by Agricultural Connections · January 24, 2023

Continuing our lentil theme in preparation for Heart Healthy Month in February and offering inspiration for cooking your winter veggies, we're featuring a new recipe submitted by some of our wonderful harvest box customers. This lentil curry makes the weeknight dinner rotation in their house 2-3 times each month. The ingredient list is fairly long (like with a lot of curries) but it's mostly pantry staple spices and the process is pretty simple and straight-forward. Start to finish, this dish should take only 30-40 minutes to prepare!

To kick off our staff recipe feature where we'll highlight veggies from our weekly Harvest Box program, we're starting with recipes inspired by the upcoming Heart Healthy Month in February. This lentil bolognese features shiitake mushrooms, celeriac, carrots, onions, garlic, and lentils all grown locally or regionally. A bolognese sauce is usually a slow-cooked meat sauce but substituting lentils, mushrooms, and walnuts lends wonderful texture and depth of flavor in this quicker, vegetarian take on the Italian classic.
