LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES
Delicious, hearty, and extremely healthy. The only drawback is that there's a fair amount of chopping -- I have very little time to make dinner during the week, so I usually do the chopping for this over the weekend, and then just start throwing things in the pot after work. This is a variation on a recipe from Mark Bittman's _How to Cook Everything Vegetarian_, but that recipe calls for regular potatoes and no onions. I really enjoy the flavor of sweet potatoes, and I think onions make everything better, so I do it this way. We often eat it over brown rice, but it's also good just by itself.

Steps:
- Put the water/stock, lentils, and curry powder into a big pot over high heat. Cover. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat and bring down to a simmer. Keep it covered and simmering for approximately 10 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes, onions, and salt. Raise the heat until it returns to a boil, then reduce so that it's simmering again. Keep covered.
- Cook until the potatoes are soft, the lentils are tender, and most of the water/stock is absorbed, about 15 more minutes. If there's too much water, remove the cover so that some of the water can boil off. If there's not enough water, add more.
- Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!

RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH
In this vegetarian main inspired by Indian dal, lentils are cooked with an aromatic blend of Thai spices - fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and chile - then simmered in coconut milk until fall-apart tender. Browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness, balancing the heat from the chile and curry paste, while baby spinach tossed in just before serving adds fresh flavor. Serve over steamed white or brown rice, or with toasted flatbread on the side.

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.
SPICY LENTIL AND SWEET POTATO STEW WITH CHIPOTLES
The sweetness of the sweet potatoes infuses this Mexican-inspired lentil dish along with the heat of the chipotles, which also have a certain sweetness as well because of the adobo sauce they're they are packed in. The combination, with the savory lentils, is a winner.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it softens, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add the ground cumin seeds and carrots. Stir together for a minute, then add the lentils, water, sweet potatoes, chipotles, tomato paste, salt to taste and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender and the broth fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the cilantro or parsley, simmer for another minute, and serve, passing lime wedges so diners can season their lentils with a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
