    Heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic, turmeric and ginger for 30 seconds.

    Add the rinsed lentils, water and stock concentrate. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Cook for 18-22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft. Add a little more water if the pot starts to dry.

  4. 4

    Stir in the coconut milk and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, until the stew is thick and spoonable.
