- 1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
