Description

A warm and comforting stew packed with nourishing ingredients like lentils and sweet potatoes, featuring anti-inflammatory spices for a healthy, hearty meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 2 Medium Carrots, chopped
  • 3 Small Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 8 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 15oz Can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cup Brown Lentils, uncooked
  • 3 cups Spinach, roughly chopped
  • 23 tbsp Chopped Parsley

Instructions

  1. Add olive oil to a large pot.
  2. Once hot, add in the onions and carrots. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Add in the spices (garlic powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, paprika, and cinnamon) and cook for about a minute to release fragrances.
  4. Add in 6 cups of broth along with the lentils, sweet potatoes, and canned tomatoes. Cook on high heat for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Cover and reduce to low heat; let it simmer for about 35-40 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Add in the last 2 cups of broth to adjust the consistency.
  7. Add in the spinach and cook until just wilted, then immediately remove from heat.
  8. Optionally top with chopped parsley and a dollop of vegan labneh or sour cream for a creamy finish.

Notes

This stew can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days or frozen for up to three months. For a creamier texture, blend half of the stew after cooking.
