Sweet Potato & Red Lentil Dahl

Tasty and warming food for vegans and meaties alike: just add chicken or lamb if you want to make the dish more interesting... but it's pretty damn good as it is!

Serves 4
350 kcals per serving

INGREDIENTS
200g red lentils
2-3 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into large 1 inch chunks
1 red onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
5 tomatoes, quartered
800mls vegetable or chicken stock or 800mls water with stock cube
4 handfuls spinach (1/2 a bag or so), shredded a little
1 red chilli, chopped (avoid using seeds if you don’t like spice!)
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric

METHOD
1. Fry onion, chili and garlic until soft (NO need for oil). Add 1 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp turmeric for 1-2 mins.
2. Add 200g red lentils, 800mls boiling water & stock cube to the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.
3. Add sweet potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes or until potato is tender but not overcooked. You can add the chopped tomatoes around 5 minutes before the potatoes are ready.
4. Just before serving add spinach to pan and stir, so that it wilts a little.
5. Serve with pitta bread if you like.

Keep this dish vegan friendly or you can bake or dry-fry chicken or turkey in a separate pan to add to the dish later!
