How to Prepare Lentil Coconut Curry With Pesto Cucumber Noodles [Vegan]

  1. In a large pot, whisk together the coconut milk, crushed tomatoes, water, and curry paste and bring to a boil. Whisk it frequently, in order to break down the curry paste.
  2. Once boiling, stir in the lentils, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the lentils have absorbed most of the liquid and are thick and creamy, about 20 minutes.
  3. While the lentils cook, place the cashews in a small food processor and process until broken down.
  4. Add in the cilantro, mint, ginger, jalapeño pepper, and lime juice, and process until broken down and blended.
  5. With the food processor running, stream in the water and coconut oil, and process until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides down as necessary.
  6. Place the spiralized cucumbers onto a paper towel and press out any excess moisture. Place them into a large bowl and add in the pesto. Toss the noodles until the pesto evenly covers them.
  7. Divide the noodles between plates, and divide the lentil curry on top of each pile of noodles.
  8. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and cashews and serve.
