Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water and 1 tsp salt (double the water and salt for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Make the curry
Meanwhile, small-dice the celery. Mince the garlic. In a second medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the celery and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until softened. Add the lentils, tomato paste and spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the tomato paste turns dark red. Add the coconut curry sauce, 2 cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of S&P. Cook, stirring occasionally, 12 to 15 min., until the lentils are tender.
Cook the green beans
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the green beans and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender; season with S&P.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, pick ½ the cilantro leaves off the stems; roughly chop the remaining leaves and stems. Quarter the lime.
Finish & serve
To the pot of curry, add the chopped cilantro and juice of ½ the lime wedges; stir well. Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the curry and green beans. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and lime wedges. Bon appétit!
