Sweet Potato Kale Curry with Lentils

I love to eat soups in the winter.

Or stews.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Or just about anything steaming hot, that is perfectly comforting and hearty. Even better if you can scoop it up with a spoon.

And when you need to limit how fast you eat because of how hot the food is.

Since I’ve just recently discovered how wonderful brown rice is (starting in my vegan buffalo crumble salad) I needed to continue to experiment with this filling base.

How about a huge pot of vegan red lentil, sweet potato kale curry?

Sold!

For a bit of added spice I added in some jalapenos and thai chili paste, because why, not? Sometimes it’s good to feel your mouth really burn with flavor.

As a base I went with my favorite trio, onions, garlic and ginger. A happy bunch right there when they are all reunited in a sizzling pot. From there we’ve got sweet potato, red lentils, baby kale and some chickpeas.

Let’s talk about red lentils. They are simply my favorite lentils. First off they cook super quickly, I mean in minutes.

They happen to be perfect in soups, (of all kinds) and curries. Oh my so good.

And now in stew curries too, as I have found out.

I decided to puree half the mixture for a bit of a creamy crunchy texture, the balance of which ends up being perfect. The baby kale adds a bit of refreshing twang to the already very creamy hearty dish.

And the chickpeas? Well those I threw in at the end there, and they seem to mesh well with everything else. Garnish this sweet potato kale curry dish with a bit of scallions or cilantro for the finishing touch, and serve with extra thai chili sauce for additional spice.

For all of you still on the East coast of the US, or anywhere else where Spring still seems to be hiding behind winter, make this sweet potato kale curry asap, and the cold dreary weather will feel just a little bit less painful and miserable.
