INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 For the Tangy Tomato Sauce, heat oil in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant and softened. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; keep warm.
  • 2 Meanwhile, for the Lentil Porridge, heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove about 1/3 cup of the onion to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • 3 Add garlic to skillet with remaining onions; cook just until browned. Add potato, zucchini, tomato and carrot; cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes just until lightly browned. Stir in water and lentils. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through. Stir in salt and spices.
  • 4 Carefully transfer mixture to blender container. With center part of cover removed to let steam escape, puree on high speed until smooth, working in batches as needed. Porridge will be thick but should be very smooth.
  • 5 Wipe skillet clean with paper towels. Return reserved onions to skillet. Cook on medium-high heat just until crispy. Spoon about 1/2 cup hot cooked rice in 4 serving bowls. Drizzle each bowl with 1/4 cup Tangy Tomato Sauce and top with about 1 cup of the Lentil Porridge. Sprinkle with crushed pita chips and reserved fried onions. Serve immediately.
