Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew

This Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew is a great as a last-minute dinner idea. Change it up by using the vegetable of your choice, or simply the one you have on hand. A once uninspired dinner solution turns into something the whole family enjoys very much. On the picture, you can see it served on Coconut Ginger Brown Rice, but I also serve it over garlic mashed potatoes, for the utmost kids’ delight.

Rรขgout de lentilles et patates douces

J’ai dรฉveloppรฉ cette recette un de ces soirs oรน mรชme le frigo crie famine. Je n’avais que des patates douces sous la main, et ce que le jardin voulait bien me donner en verdures. J’ai donc choisi les lentilles, pour leur fabuleuse teneur en fibres et en protรฉines, et parce que je les aime tant! ร‡a cuit vite, รงa sent bon. Ce qui s’annonรงait comme un souper de grosse bouillie moche a donc fait sensation auprรจs de tous, enfants inclus! J’en ai donc refait, imaginez donc, et je vous partage la recette tellement c’รฉtait bon!
