What's For Dinner Tonight?!? Coconut Lentil Stew

I love to cook, and eat for that matter. This lentil stew is quick, easy and delicious on a chilly night.

Coconut Lentil Stew with Sweet Potatoes, Carrots & lots of Ginger!
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 medium sweet potato peeled and chopped into 1 inch dice
3 medium carrots peeled and chopped
1 cup lentils
1 can lite coconut milk
2 big handfuls of chopped greens, kale, chard or spinach
curry powder to taste
lots of fresh ginger grated
2 tbsp bragg's liquid aminos, low sodium soy sauce or sea salt to taste

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat , toast mustard and cumin seeds until they just pop, add onion and garlic and saute until translucent. Add sweet potato, carrots, lentils, coconut milk, spices and water to cover it all. Simmer on low until lentils and veggies are tender. Stir in chopped greens and simmer until wilted, serves 4.

Garnish with toasted coconut, toasted pine nuts, currants and chopped cilantro if desired.

This is satisfying on it's own or serve with warm pita, steamed broccoli and a protein of choice, andouille sausage is a favorite of my family...

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
