Lentil Dahl is flavorful, but not spicy. It's the perfect meal for a busy day because you make it in the slow cooker, it's delicious, and it's filled with satisfying protein.

Hello Dahl-ly Lentil Dahl. Scrumptious and filling.

Hello Dahl-ly Lentil Dahl. Vegan. Gluten free. SO Tasty!

The first time I made this fabulous Lentil Dahl recipe it was for Quaker Movie Night at our house one cold February evening. I guess everyone liked it; every bit was all gone after supper. The original recipe came from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson. Robertson has some of the best vegan cookbooks I have ever tried. I have several of her cookbooks and I love them.

This Lentil Dahl is flavorful, but not spicy. It's the perfect meal for any night, especially a rainy or cold winter's night. Add a Green Bean and Tomato Salad and you have a delicious, complete meal. It takes just 10 minutes to get everything in the slow cooker. Then cook the Lentil Dahl for about 6 hours. 

What You Need

You will need a knife, cutting board, garlic mincer, sauté pan, measuring cups and measuring spoons, and a slow cooker, of course. You may need to add a timer to start your slow cooker (affiliate link) if you don't have a programmable slow cooker. A simple electric timer (affiliate link) and make your life so much easier.
