This is a yummy simple recipe suggested to me by a friend when I started my Gluten, Dairy and Wheat free diet. It's easy to make if you're not big on cooking and it won't take more than 40mins to prepare and cook it all. I double up the amounts and take it to work with me. :)
Ingredients
1 medium onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 medium yams (or sweet potatoes, peeeled and chopped in large cubes (about 1/2-1")
1 bay leaf
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups red lentils, rinsed and picked over
4 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a heavy bottom pot or Dutch Oven heat oil and onions over medium low heat, add a pinch of xylitol and a pinch of salt. Cook them until they start to caramelize then add the ginger, curry powder, garlic, sweet potato or yam and bay leaf. Stir for a minute until it becomes fragrant and then add the water or stock and then stir in the lentils. Cover and simmer over medium low heat for 18-20 minutes until yams and lentils are tender. Adjust for seasoning - you will likely need salt. Stir in coriander and serve.
My favourite dish at the moment, and it's not too hot either.
