ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup lentils
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons coriander
- 1 lb swai fillet
- 4 cups cabbage, chopped
directions
- Combine lentils, turmeric and stock in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- When lentils are ready (or just before) In a large pan heat , stir fry cumin, ginger, and cayenne for a few seconds then add lentils. Stir to combine.
- Add lemon juice and coriander. Stir gently.
- Lay the Swai atop the lentils, cover the pan, and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, turn the fish and cook for 10 minutes more.
- Absolutely not necessary, but we serve this over chopped cabbage and use a little bit of sauce similar to that on a fish taco (with non-fat yogurt as a substitute for mayo). When I have found our perfect combo, I will amend this recipe to add it.
