RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH
In this vegetarian main inspired by Indian dal, lentils are cooked with an aromatic blend of Thai spices - fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and chile - then simmered in coconut milk until fall-apart tender. Browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness, balancing the heat from the chile and curry paste, while baby spinach tossed in just before serving adds fresh flavor. Serve over steamed white or brown rice, or with toasted flatbread on the side.

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.

Tips for Making Sweet Potato and Lentil Curry with Rice:
- Use a variety of lentils for a more complex flavor and texture. Brown lentils, for example, hold their shape well and add a nutty flavor, while red lentils cook quickly and break down easily, creating a creamy texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the lentils. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Add vegetables that are in season for the best flavor. Winter squash, such as butternut squash or kabocha squash, are excellent choices for this curry.
- Use a good quality curry paste for the best flavor. Look for a paste that contains a variety of spices, such as coriander, cumin, and turmeric.
- If you don't have time to make your own curry paste, you can use a store-bought paste. Just be sure to choose one that is made with fresh ingredients and no added sugar.
- Serve the curry with rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
