* 1 1/4 tsp Coriander ground
* 1 tsp ground ginger
* 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
* 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
* 1 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt
* 1 Tbsp smoked or sweet paprika
* 3 cloves Garlic

* 4 C (475g) Vegetable Broth + more for a soupier stew
* 28oz (800g) Can of Crushed Tomatoes, fire roasted for more flavour
* 2 C (235g) Carrots, coined
* 1 C (224g) Dry, Uncooked French Lentils
* 15 oz can (248g)Cooked Chickpeas drained 
* 2 Tbsp tomato paste


* 1 1/22 Tbsp Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar



### Directions
1. Fry onions and garlic until cooked
2. Add spices and fry until fragrant (just a minute or two). 
3. Add all other ingredients
4. Cook until lentils are edible (30min or so)

### Notes
* It seems like a lot of cinnamon, but it isn’t. 
* French lentils hold their shape better and don’t turn to mush, but I’m sure it’d take good with any.
* Is great with or without the chickpeas
