Green Lentil and Nettle Casserole

Instructions

1. Pick, clean, and weigh the nettle leaves before rinsing them. Weighing the nettles while they are wet will increase their weight and make the measurement inaccurate.
2. Soak the lentils in water for about 6 hours.
3. Rinse the nettles thoroughly. Remove any roots and coarse stems.
4. Chop the nettle leaves and set aside.
5. Drain and rinse the soaked lentils with fresh water.
6. Place the lentils in a pot and add the water and chopped nettles.
7. Chop the onion and press the garlic cloves.
8. Add the onion, garlic, herb salt, and salt to the pot.
9. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are almost tender. Start timing from the moment the pot is placed on the stove.
10. Add the coconut milk and stir thoroughly. Continue simmering for about 10 minutes more, or until the lentils are completely tender. Stir occasionally and check the consistency toward the end of cooking.
11. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
