Hello Dahl-ly Lentil Dahl. Scrumptious and filling.

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

Hi. This is Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about a fabulous Lentil Dahl recipe. I made this for Quaker Movie Night at our house. I guess everyone liked it; it was all gone after supper! It 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.

It takes just 10 minutes to get everything in the slow cooker. Then cook the Lentil Dahl for about 6 hours. You may need to add a timer to start your slow cooker if you don’t have a programmable slow cooker. A simple electric timer can make your life so much easier.

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.

Check out the recipe.

You will need a slow cooker to make this Lentil Dahl. You can buy this one on Amazon.
