Lentils with Cabbage

Here is the real recipe.

And here is my cheap man's version:

1-1/4 cups green lentils
5 cups water
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 onion, peeled and cut into fine slices
3 cups organic cabbage, finely shredded
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ginger

1.)  In a stock pot, add lentils and water and bring to a boil. Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar, turn heat down to low, and simmer gently for 75 minutes.

2.)  Add sea salt, the tomato, cumin, turmeric, garlic and ginger to the pot.  Stir to combine.  Cover and cook another 10 minutes.

3.)  Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat some coconut oil over medium heat.  Saute the onion and cabbage for about 10 minutes or until softened and slightly browned. 

4.)  Add the cabbage mixture to the lentils. Mix together and enjoy!
