Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Ladle
  • Measuring cups / spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced (can sub for a can of diced tomatoes, drained)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2-3 sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 7 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup lentils (I usually use brown lentils)
  • 2-3 handfuls kale, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add ginger and tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • Mix in spices, coat the ingredients and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add sweet potatoes, lentils and broth (in this order to prevent broth from splashing). Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and let it cook for 30 minutes.
  • Add kale and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This stew stays fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days and also keeps well in the freezer for up to 3 months (if it lasts that long!)
