Cooking Steps

Prep
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450ËšF.Wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 2 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/8 tsp mild, 1/4 tsp medium, 1/2 tsp spicy and 1 tsp extra-spicy! Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop cilantro. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Drain, then finely chop roasted red peppers. Pierce one side of the package of almonds. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, crush almonds in their package until broken into small crumbs (or finely chop, if you prefer).

Start curry
2

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until slightly golden, 1-3 min. Add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions, roasted red peppers and half the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 3-4 min. Add Turkish Spice Blend and 1/2 tsp chipotle powder. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.

Finish curry

Add crushed tomatoes, zucchini, honey, lentils and 2 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring often, until lentils soften, 10-15 min.

Cook rice

Meanwhile, add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Make garlic naan
