Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 large sweet potato, about 1 pound, diced into ½ inch cubes
  • 1 ½ cups dried brown lentils
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ tablespoons Asian chili paste (sambal oelek), or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Place the onion, garlic, ginger, sweet potato, lentils, broth, coconut milk, chili paste, cumin, and garam masala into a slow cooker. Stir a few times to mix everything well. Cover and cook 5-6 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high, until lentils and sweet potatoes are tender.
