Top 2 Sweet Potato Lentil Curry Recipes

This vegetarian dish is modeled after Indian dal and uses aromatic Thai spices such as fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste, and chile to cook the lentils until they are fall-apart tender. Baby spinach added right before serving adds a fresh flavor while browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness and balances the heat from the chile and curry paste.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (, diced)
• 1 cup dried red lentils
• 1 medium sweet potato (, cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 2 garlic cloves (, minced)
• 1 inch fresh ginger (, minced)
• fine sea salt
• ground black pepper
• 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth or water
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro

Instruction:

1. The onion should be sauteed in a large pot with the olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Stir the additional ingredients—turmeric, curry powder, garlic, and ginger—for one minute, just until fragrant.
2. Add the sweet potatoes, lentils, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper along with the broth or water. Boil the liquid, then turn the heat down and cover the pan. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and lentils are both tender.
3. Add the coconut milk and cilantro, and taste and adjust the seasoning. If you used broth or water, you may need to add more salt—about a half teaspoon at a time. (When using water, I add a full teaspoon more of salt. (If you want to brighten the flavor, season to taste with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, and then serve warm over cooked rice or quinoa.
4. For up to five days, leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container. When chilled, the sauce will thicken; however, when heated, the sauce will lose some of its thickness.
