Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup dried brown lentils soaked and drained, if desired
  • 2 cups sweet potato cubed
  • One 398 ml can of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • One 400 ml can coconut milk

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and simmer until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the dried lentils, cubed sweet potato, tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, turmeric, curry powder, and coconut milk. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the lentils and sweet potato are fully cooked, about 30 minutes.
  • Note: I pre-soaked and drained my lentils in advance to aid with digestion. This step is not necessary, however, you may need to add slightly more water if your lentils are not pre-soaked. I suggest cooking the lentils and then adding additional water if necessary.
  • Serve over rice.
