Made chicken dal tonight in the crock pot
It turned out really good and is both cheap and healthy. I put all ingredients into the crock pot and cooked it for 4 or 5 hours on high, then served it with jasmine rice.
2 cups red lentils
1 can no salt added diced tomatoes
2 T olive oil
1/4 cup dried onion
2 T yellow curry powder
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
2 cups pre-cooked shredded chicken (I imagine you could use uncooked chicken as well and it would turn out fine.)
Enough water to cover everything by about a half inch

my read shelf:
Yeah, I use green lentils as a replacement for beef in sloppy joes. Green lentils also make a good stew with carrots and potatoes, bay leaves, some sausage if you want it.
I also do an Ethiopian dish called misser wot that is made with red lentils and served with injera (a fermented pancake like flat bread made with a grain called teff). I live near a large Ethiopian community so the ingredients are not hard to find, but I know you can get teff flour on Amazon, and you can find the ingredients for misser wot fairly easily anywhere. It uses a seasoning mixture called berbere which you can make yourself. There are recipes for it online.
Misser Wot sounds good! We have a large Somalian population near me, which although is definitely not the same, the ingredients used in their cooking might be pretty similar. Can you direct me to a recipe similar to what you use? I know nothing about what to look for. TIA!

If you don't want to mess with making injera you can also serve it alone or with rice.
