1 tsp olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sweet potatoes, diced
1/2 cup lentils, uncooked and rinsed
2 cups vegetable broth (add more if needed)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
In a large pot, on medium heat, drizzle olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the rest of your ingredients (except salt), turn up heat and bring to a rapid boil.
Once it’s boiling turn the heat down to a low simmer and cook the lentils uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, or until lentils are cooked through and not falling apart.
Remove the stew from heat, add salt to taste and top with fresh parsley when ready to serve.
