Ingredients

4 cups water
2 cups green peas
1 cup dry red lentils, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 leaves Swiss chard, shredded
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 medium lemons, juiced

Steps:

Place 4 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add peas, reduce heat to low, and cook, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove peas with a slotted spoon. Reserve broth in the pot.
Add lentils to the broth; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil to melt. Add potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper, and saute until soft, 7 to 10 minutes.
Once lentils have finished cooking, add the potato mixture, cooked peas, Swiss chard, garlic, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to the pot. Squeeze in lemon juice and serve.
