Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 onion, peeled and diced
2 small tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (1 1/2 teaspoon in original recipe)
1/2 teaspoon cumin (1 teaspoon in original recipe)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon paprika
pinch of salt
2-3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
6 cups water (original recipe had 7 cups veggie broth)
1 cup brown lentils
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, deep pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Stir in the tomatoes and ginger and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, and a small pinch of salt. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, then taste for seasonings; using only enough salt to heighten the flavors.
Add the sweet potatoes, broth, and lentils. Stir well, and bring to a boil over high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until the lentils and sweet potatoes are soft.
You can serve this over a bed of rice.

This looks delicious, I have been trying to incorporate more lentils into our food. I use them to thicken soups that are blended in the food processor.
Sounds great! I love both sweet potatoes and lentils.

This sounds really delicious to me. I'm the only one in my family who likes lentils, so I'd have to eat the entire thing myself :) Sounds like something hearty and different for a winter lunch. Pinning!
This looks warm and delicious and perfect for winter. Thanks for sharing at Fridays Unfolded!

I'm so excited to try this. I recently had to cut out potatoes and tomatoes from my diet and can't find many good stew recipes. So glad to meet you the Weekend Retreat linky. Pinning!
I can eat this if I reduce the oil. I'm pinning it!
Perfect! I was looking for a simple recipe to use up some sweet potatoes languishing in the fridge and this is now on my menu for tonight. Thanks :)
