Preparation

Put on the lentils with three times the amount of water, cook 15-20 min al dente, and then drain.

Toss the planted.chicken plain in the spice mix and massage it in with your hands. Let it stand until all other ingredients are prepared.

Peel the onion and cut into rings, peel and dice the kohlrabi.

Heat rapeseed oil in a large pot and sauté the onion rings, diced kohlrabi and pineapple pieces. After three minutes, add the seasoned natural planted chicken and fry as well.

Reduce the heat and simmer the contents of the pan for just under 10 minutes with the lid closed, stirring occasionally. If it sticks too much, add 100 ml of water.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Mix peanut butter, hot water, lemon juice, and soy sauce into a creamy sauce.

Add the lentils with the peanut cream to the remaining ingredients in the pan and simmer for another five minutes.

Divide into bowls and sprinkle with salted peanuts. Long-grain or basmati rice goes well with this.
