Lentil Stew with Sweet Potatoes
Lentil stew is high in all needed nutrients. It is excellent for those with cancer or heart disorders, and is great for anyone in need of a highly nutritious meal.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
4 ½ cups water
1 ¼ cups lentils, rinsed
1 large sweet potato cut in cubes
½ cup golden raisins
1 cup diced apples
½ pound fresh cooking greens
- Heat oil in a large saucepan. Sauté the onions and fresh ginger for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in cumin seeds and other spices, 2 ½ cups of the water and lentils. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat and simmer for thirty minutes.
- Add the sweet potato, raisins, apples and the remaining water. Cover and simmer over medium heat until the lentils are barely tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the greens, cover and cook for a few more minutes until the lentils are tender. Serve with cooked brown rice.
You can substitute pumpkin for sweet potato.
