RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH



Red Curry Lentils With Sweet Potatoes and Spinach image

In this vegetarian main inspired by Indian dal, lentils are cooked with an aromatic blend of Thai spices - fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and chile - then simmered in coconut milk until fall-apart tender. Browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness, balancing the heat from the chile and curry paste, while baby spinach tossed in just before serving adds fresh flavor. Serve over steamed white or brown rice, or with toasted flatbread on the side.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 red chile, such as Fresno or serrano, halved, seeds and ribs removed, then minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup red lentils, rinsed
4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 (4- to 5-ounce) bag baby spinach
1/2 lime, juiced
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
  • Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  • To save time, use pre-cut or frozen sweet potato cubes.
  • If you don't have red curry paste, you can use a combination of yellow curry paste and chili paste.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer flavor.
  • Add more vegetables to the curry, such as carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli.
  • Serve the curry with rice, noodles, or quinoa.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato red curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy dinner option, give this sweet potato red curry a try.
