  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the oil to a large pot or Dutch oven and turn on the heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the diced onion & minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes and Spices: Add in the diced sweet potato, tomato paste, and spices including ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, salt, & pepper. Stir and sauté with the onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes.

  5. Simmer Stew: Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until lentils are almost cooked through. Stir every few minutes for best results.
  6. Stir in Coconut Milk: Remove the lid and pour in coconut milk. Stir together and cook uncovered for an additional 8-10 minutes until lentils are cooked through and stew has thickened.
  7. Add Kale: Once lentils are cooked through, add chopped kale and lime juice. Stir everything together for an additional 2 minutes.
  8. Serve: Remove the sweet potato lentil stew from heat. Serve as is or add your favorite garnishes on top.
