Lentils and Sweet Potato: A Weekly Wonder (Page 3 ) | August 14, 2024

Crafting the Dish: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the Lentils: Start by rinsing your lentils under cold water. Lentils are wonderfully versatile and don’t require pre-soaking, making them a convenient choice for a quick meal.
2. Cook the Sweet Potato: Peel and dice the sweet potato into small, even cubes. This ensures they cook evenly and integrate beautifully with the lentils.
3. Combine and Cook: In a large pot, combine the lentils and sweet potato cubes, then cover with water or vegetable broth for added flavor. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you love – a dash of cumin or a sprinkle of paprika can add a lovely warmth to the dish.
4. Simmer to Perfection: Let the mixture simmer until the lentils are tender and the sweet potatoes are soft, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more water or broth as needed.

Serving Suggestions
