1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 yellow onion

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown (about 8 minutes). Add ginger and turmeric, mix and cook for another minute.

Add 6 cups of water, rinsed and drained lentils, and chopped dates and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes uncover, top with coconut and bake for another 15-20 minutes until lentils are tender and coconut is golden.
