Weeknight Liechtensteiner Pan-Fried Lentils Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: lentils, garlic, carrot, salt, paprika, turmeric, onion.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lentils and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Liechtensteiner flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Liechtensteiner accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
