I’m a major cookbook collector. I probably have over 100 of them! I love cooking directly from them, getting inspiration from them, and honestly just paging through them and taking in the pictures and stories. <\/span>The First Mess<\/span><\/a> was my favorite cookbook for years and still is one of my go-tos. Laura is a fellow Canadian and does whole, plant-based cooking better than anyone! If you\u2019re feeling inspired when it comes to produce, you need to check out her <\/span>blog<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>cookbook<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m so excited that Laura gave me permission to share this dal recipe from The First Mess. It\u2019s hearty, packed full of flavor and so easy to make. My ideal weeknight meal!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is dal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dal (sometimes spelled “daal” or “dahl\/dhal”) is both an ingredient and a dish. As an ingredient, it is a type of pulse typically either split peas or lentils. As a dish, it is traditionally a spiced lentil stew made from simmering the ingredient until broken down. This recipe is based off the traditional dish but adds in some root vegetables for an added nutritional boost.\u00a0<\/span>There are many different flavor variations of dal including masoor dal, chana dal, moong dal or dal tadka (amond many others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
