Health Highlights
This vibrant Sweet Potato and Coconut Lentil Stew makes a cozy vegan meal that is also low FODMAP.

Ingredients


260 gm Sweet potato (peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
300 gm Carrots (peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 cup Leek (green leaves, finely sliced)
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, garlic-infused
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Coriander, ground
1/2 tsp Turmeric, ground
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp Ginger root (minced)
4 cup Vegetable stock/broth, gluten-free (low FODMAP vegetable stock)
1/2 cup Water
4 cup Baby spinach (roughly chopped)
1 cup Lentils, canned (rinsed and drained)
1 cup Coconut milk, reduced fat
1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh)
1 fruit Lime (cut into wedges, for serving)
3 tbsp Cilantro (coriander) (roughly chopped, for serving)
1 dash Salt and pepper (season to taste)

Instructions


  1. Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic-infused oil. Once hot, cook the leek leaves with the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes (if using) for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the minced ginger, sweet potato, and carrot. Stir well to coat with the spice mixture, then cover and cook for 3 minutes - stirring frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Next, pour in the vegetable stock and water. Bring to a boil, then place the lid on askew so some steam can escape. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
  4. Meanwhile, rinse and drain the lentils, measure the amount you need, and roughly chop the spinach.
  5. Once the vegetables have softened, remove the saucepan from the heat and gently mash to break up the sweet potato and carrot and slightly thicken the sauce.
  6. Place the saucepan back over the heat, then stir in the lentils, spinach, and coconut milk. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the coconut milk has heated through.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat, squeeze in the lime juice, season with more salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
  8. Serve in bowls with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
