How to Prepare Almond Curry Lentils [Vegan]

In a medium saucepan, bring the cup of water or broth to a boil and add the lentils. Turn heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Check for doneness and then drain off any excess liquid.
While lentils are cooking, warm the tablespoon of water over medium heat and add the onions. Cook 10 minutes, or until translucent, adding a tablespoon of water at a time as the water evaporates. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
Add the almond butter and water and stir until well combined. Add the spices and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until lentils are done.
Add the drained lentils to the skillet with the sauce and mix well. Warm 1-2 minutes more. Top with sliced almonds and vegan sour cream, if desired.
