Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir the stew occasionally to keep it from sticking.

SPICY LENTIL & CHICKPEA STEW
This recipe came to me from a friend who had worked at a health food store. I changed a few things until I found a version that my family loved. My son doesn't like things too spicy, so I make the stew milder for him and add a sprinkle of extra spice in mine. My husband, who farms, works outdoors for long hours at a time and finds this soup hearty enough to keep him satisfied. -Melanie MacFarlane, Bedeque, Prince Edward Island

SPICY LENTIL AND SWEET POTATO STEW WITH CHIPOTLES
The sweetness of the sweet potatoes infuses this Mexican-inspired lentil dish along with the heat of the chipotles, which also have a certain sweetness as well because of the adobo sauce they're they are packed in. The combination, with the savory lentils, is a winner.

Steps:
- In a large ceramic/enamel-lined Dutch oven or similar stock pot, add the finely minced onion and carrot; sauté over medium heat until they begin to soften, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon or so of water if the onions and carrots start to stick and/or to prevent burning.
- Add all the other the remaining ingredients to the Dutch oven, except the baby spinach and cilantro, bring to boil, then immediately lower to a simmer. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. At 45 minutes, push the potatoes over to the side of the pot (as much as possible) and remove approximately one cup of the cooked lentils and place them in a wide bowl. Smash them with a fork or potato masher, then return to the pot. This will give the stew more varied texture.
- Test the flavors, add more spices (see recipes notes), if necessary, to achieve the level of flavor you desire. Add the baby spinach and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Discard the bay leaf.
- Top individual servings with freshly chopped cilantro.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils. This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Lentils that work well in this stew include brown lentils, green lentils, and red lentils.
- Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Add some spice. The chipotle peppers in this stew give it a nice spicy kick. If you like your food spicy, you can add more chipotle peppers or other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. This stew is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, yogurt, avocado, or cilantro.
Conclusion:
This spicy lentil and sweet potato stew is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold night.
