Lentil & Sweet Potato Curry

Use up the sweet potatoes and lentils in your share this week!

This my recipe. I researched the science and uses of lentils, looked at several recipes, and then mixed what I learned with my own style, and voila! I hope you enjoy. C.L.

2 Tbs coconut oil
1 cup onion, diced 
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs curry powder 
1 tsp salt 
sprinkle of black pepper (yes, "sprinkle" is an official measurement. Not to be confused with "a dash"). 
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1" chunks 
1 large carrot, sliced
1 cup lentils, rinsed 
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth 
1/2 cup coconut milk 

Heat oil in pan. Add onion and saute on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic, curry, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute. 
Stir in sweet potato, carrot, lentils, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes or until tends. 
Stir in coconut milk and enjoy! 
Serve over rice and top with cilantro for a complete meal.
