Sweet potato coconut lentil curry

Sweet potato coconut lentil curry

I'm obsessed with lentils lately. With 25 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber per 100 grams of raw lentils, this super food is a rich source of numerous nutrients. This recipe had quickly become a family fave. Add additional veggies to make it even more nutritious.

Sautee half of a chopped onion, 1 1/2 cups of mushrooms in 1 Tbsp coconut oil. Add 2 Heaping Tbsp of curry powder and one can of coconut milk. Stir until coconut milk is melted then add 2 cups of lentils. (I like to use pre-steamed lentils from trader Joe's, but feel free to cook your own). Chop 2 medium sized cooked sweet potatos, throw in half a bag of spinach and any other veggies you like and cook until the spinach is wilted. 

And there you have it, a hearty, vegetarian, protein packed, nutrient rich meal.
