This is my absolute favorite recipe for the fall! These curried lentils are a perfect way to combine fall vegetables with the warming sensation of curry on a nice, cool day. This recipe can be prepared in a slow cooker and freezes well, so it can be very convenient for you as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
