Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Add S&P. Fluff and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the lentils. Peel and medium-dice the carrots. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; cut into bite-size pieces. Zest and quarter the lime. Peel and mince the ginger. Mince the garlic.
Start the curry
In a second medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the curry paste, tomato paste, garlic, ½ the lime zest and all but a pinch of the ginger. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant and dark red. Add the coconut milk, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P; stir well.
Finish the curry
To the pot of curry, add the carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 min., until the carrots are tender. Add the zucchini and ½ the lentils. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until tender. Add the juice of ½ the lime wedges and S&P; stir well.
Finish & serve
To the pot of rice, add the remaining lentils, lime zest and ginger, and S&P; stir well. Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the curry and juice from the remaining lime wedges. Bon appétit!
