THAI RED CURRY WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large pan and heat. Cut chicken into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces. Add chicken and sear over fairly high heat until lightly browned. Add the red curry paste and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spatula.
• Pour the coconut milk into the pan and mix to combine, scraping bottom of the pan to remove any sediment.
• Add the chicken stock and the diced sweet potato. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until sweet potato is completely tender but still holding its shape and the sauce has reduced slightly. Check seasoning and add salt if needed.
• Cook jasmine rice according to package directions in unsalted water.
• Ladle the curry over rice in warmed wide-rimmed bowls. Garnish with fresh minced cilantro and/or sliced green onions.

RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
• Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.
