Sweet Potato Red Lentil And Coconut Curry Food

LENTIL SWEET POTATO COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
• Sauté the onions, garlic and ginger until onions are tender, but not browned.
• Add the curry powder and stir through.
• Add the lentils, sweet potato and courgette, stir and just barely cover with water (you can use vegetable or chicken stock if you prefer).
• Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the lentils are tender. If there's quite a bit of liquid you can add more lentils. Add salt to taste.
• Add coconut milk and simmer for a few minutes.
• Serve over rice, with naan or just enjoy on its own.

SWEET POTATO RED LENTIL AND COCONUT CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat some olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic and fry until translucent.
• In the meantime, give the lentils a good wash (works best in a sieve).
• Add sweet potato cubes, lentils, veggie broth, spices, chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
• Bring to boil, then reduce heat and let simmer with a lid on for about 10-12 minutes.
• Then add coconut milk and let simmer without a lid for another 10 minutes. At that point you could also throw in some extra vegetables like baby spinach leaves, some kale or olives (optional).
• Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Serve with side dish of choice (rice, naan...) and a drizzle of fresh lime juice. I also highly recommend adding some chopped cashews on top.
• Enjoy right away or store it in an airtight container - it will taste just as good the next day! It's also freezer-friendly!
