Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion

- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic
- to taste Salt

- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 cup Brown lentils
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 2 cups Kale
- 1/4 cup Chopped cilantro
- to taste Extra chili flakes
- 2 wedge Lime
- 1 tbsp Nigella seeds
Instructions
- Heat oil: Begin by heating a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt completely, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
- Sauté onions: Add the diced onions and stir them into the melted oil. Sauté until they turn translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add spices: Sprinkle in the chili flakes, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Sauté the spices until they become fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Incorporate ginger and garlic: Toss in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for another minute. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Mix in sweet potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot, stirring well to coat them in all those gorgeous spices.
- Add lentils: Stir in the brown lentils and give everything a good mix again, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Pour in vegetable stock: Carefully add the vegetable stock into the pot, stirring to scrape up any delicious bits stuck at the bottom. Place the lid on and bring to a boil.
- Simmer stew: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the sweet potatoes are almost falling apart and the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in coconut milk and kale: After 30 minutes, add the coconut milk and chopped kale. Stir well and cover again, simmering until the kale is wilted and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season and serve: Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot in bowls.
- Garnish: Top each bowl with chopped cilantro, extra chili flakes, lime wedges, and nigella seeds for an added burst of flavor.
