Creamy Lentils And Sweet Potato Skillet
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoon olive oil and heat.

  2. Once hot, add in your cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping every 1 to 1 ½ minutes, so all sides become golden brown.

  3. Add in 1 tsp each oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder, ½ tsp each black pepper and salt, ¼ tsp each ground coriander and cinnamon, and ⅛ tsp each ground nutmeg and red pepper flakes if adding (more or less to taste). Stir together and allow to cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.

  4. Add in 1 ½ cups vegetable stock and using a wooden spoon, scrap the bottom of the pan to remove anything stuck to the bottom (this is called fond).

  5. Add in ½ cup cashew cream and stir together until well combined.

  6. Then, add in 15.5oz (2 cups) cooked lentils, and 1 cup chopped kale. Stir together well.

  7. Add in the zest of the lemon and ½ the lemon juice. Stir together and taste. Add more lemon juice if desired.

  8. Let cook until the kale has wilted, about 4-8 minutes depending on your preferences.

  9. Top with 2 tbsp fresh cilantro and stir together.

  10. Serve with grain of choice or toasted bread.
