By [e-mail]

From Choosing Raw.
An easy and filing vegetarian curry dish, featuring lentils and sweet potato.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup dried red lentils (<–I used green lentils, which also worked!)
• 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 large carrot, sliced lengthwise and chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth or water
• 1/2 cup coconut milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onion until it’s turning a little golden. Add the lentils, potato, carrot, and seasonings, and stir to combine everything.

2. Add the water or broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes, or until the lentils and sweet potato are tender. Stir in the 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve warm. (We served ours over cooked quinoa.)
