In some areas of Australia people are starting to feel a little nip in the air as Summer closes out and the cooler weather begins. We’ve been fighting that feeling with a few warm meals, the kind that keep you toasty from the inside out. This is definitely one of them.

It’s always good to have a few delicious vegetarian meals in your repertoire like this Warming Vegetarian Lentil Coconut Curry, and this is one that’s always well received. We love to make a big batch of this stuff on a Sunday and stretch it over into meat-free Mondays. Yum!

Method

  1. In a large soup pot sauce the onion for 4 minutes with a pinch of salt (per your taste). Then add the garlic and stir into the onion for about a minute.

  2. To this mixture, add the spices including curry powder, ground ginger, coriander, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Stir for less than a minute, or until the smell is strong.

  3. Add in the cubed sweet potato and sliced carrots and stir for a few minutes, then add the lentils. After the lentils throw in the tomatoes, and after stirring add the coconut milk.

  4. To this mixture add the vegetable stock and bring the entire mix to a boil.

  5. Once the mix is boiling, simmer on a low heat with the lid on until the sweet potato and carrots are cooked and the lentils are nice and tender. This should take 15 - 20 minutes, but will ultimately depend on the size of your sweet potato cubes.

  6. Serve by itself, or with rice (which will increase the number of servings the dish will yield). Squeezing a little bit of lemon over the top is also delicious!
