Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. You will need two boiling pots
  2. Boil then simmer the lentils until well broken-down
  3. Add spices and flavors and mix (add the peppers last)
  4. Start the quinoa only after the lentils are broken down
  5. Once the quinoa is almost done, add the tomatoes and spices
  6. This is when you add the hot peppers
  7. Add water to both pans as needed.
  8. Cook until both are as wet/dry as you like. I thought it tasted good with the quinoa a bit more dry (not soupy), but the lentils being a bit soupy.
  9. This has a very interesting flavor, and feel free to put more/less spices in. The spices I listed are more/less just ratios of the spices you will want, depending on how spicy you want. I found it tasted better with more spices, and I added 5 small red peppers (not sure of the kind, but they were the kind that grow straight up kinda like a poinsettia, rather than down like jalapenos and habaneros), but feel free to use less/more/none. :-)
  10. (cumin:coriander= 4:1 ratio) (chili:paprika= 1:2-4 ratio) garlic salt to taste
  11. (cumin:red curry powder= 1:2-4)
