Sweetpotato and Lentil Stew

Sweetpotato and Lentil Stew

Ingredients:

(Serves 2)

1 large sweet potato

1/3 cup red split lentils

1/3 head Chinese cabbage

250g baby plum tomatoes

5 sprigs fresh parsley 

4 large handfuls of spinach (mine was homegrown) 

Spices:

1/3 tsp Fennel seeds

1/3 tsp cumin

1/3 tsp curry powder

1/3 tsp ginger 

1 tsp dried rosemary 

In a wide based pan add the sweet potatoes roughly chopped, rinsed lentils and diced Chinese cabbage. Add enough water so that all the veg are just covered. Bring to a boil and simmer with a lid. Meanwhile slice up the tomatoes, shred the spinach and finely chop the parsley. Set aside. Once the stew has combined and looks creamy (about 15 minutes) using a folk mash the sweet potatoes into the remaining liquid, add the spices and stir in. Continue on medium heat for another 5-10 minutes and serve. Tastes even better left to stand for a while 😋 

Sweetpotato and lentil stew a perfect high carb vegan meal.
