RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH



Red Curry Lentils With Sweet Potatoes and Spinach image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 red chile, such as Fresno or serrano, halved, seeds and ribs removed, then minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup red lentils, rinsed
4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 (4- to 5-ounce) bag baby spinach
1/2 lime, juiced
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, for serving (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lentils. Red lentils are the most common type used in this soup, as they break down easily and create a creamy texture. However, you can also use green or brown lentils, which hold their shape better and have a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When sautéing the vegetables, make sure to do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Use a good quality curry paste. The curry paste is what gives this soup its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of spices.
  • Add the coconut milk at the end. Coconut milk is a great way to add creaminess and richness to the soup, but it can also be overpowering if it's added too early. Stir it in just before serving to keep its flavor from getting lost.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or mint add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Stir them in just before serving for the best results.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato lentil curry soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
