Ginger Sweet Potato and Coconut Milk Stew with Lentils and Kale

Really lovely, agree that extra lentils are needed. Also very handy in a slow cooker but reduce the liquid. Great with yoghurt. Baby potatoes work well too. I added a bag of spinach instead of kale.

If you're into spicy food, then you're going to love this one. It's healthy and hearthy!

Really good, added carrots, celery and crispy tofu

Very good perfect for the cold weather

I used a full pack of Merchant Gourmet lentils. It was pretty good. Low calorie, warming, filling. Good for Autumn

Used green lentils and doubled the volume. Topped with sauerkraut and cilantro and lime juice. Great flavor!

I used 1 cup less of the bouillon so it was thicker. It was very taste and just the right consistency.

Honestly might skip the sweet potato next time, it's just mushy. But otherwise, great. Will be revisiting again.

Absolutely delicious. The savory and woodsy spices hot with a zesty lime and chile kick. We added braised lamb for extra protein and it complemented it very well.

Definitely need more lentils (and maybe even thicken it at the end with ground almonds). Double the spices, but keep chilli the same, it already has fair bit of heat as is. Doesn't need any more salt.

Tastes great! I would do a full cup of lentils though for more protein.

Fine, pretty good even- but don't feel the need to make it again. The nigella seeds are interesting and a unique flavor, but are hard to find so ok to skip since they are just a garnish.

It's good.. a bit more like a soup so might try making it less liquidy next time.

I didn't add salt and pepper in until I platted it. Light taste, I added more lentils because I love them.

Bland, needed a lot of spice and modifications to make it interesting.

Delicious! Doubled lentils and spices per suggestions from other comments. Will 100% be making this again

This was absolutely delicious! We didn't have kale in the house, so skipped it. Well balanced dish, subtle sweetness with warm spices, but no burn. A keeper!

No kale, used spinach just as good. Amazing meal

Delicious soup

Soo good, went easy on the spice so it was very sweet but was delicious. Easy recipe and great for lunches

Sweet and cremy. I put more of all the spices for the punch

So, so good. I didn't want to stop eating it. I doubled the spices and added a bit more lentils like others suggested and it was perfect.

It's a good change from the usual food I am eating. Very deep spice taste. Today is snowing and I think it's a very good dish to eat while watching the snow falling.

Reduce the water to 3 cups or maybe even 2. 4 cups males it very soupy. Still delicious but more like a soup.

Double the spices! Add a bit more lentil

Used a homemade shwarma blend for the spices! Added some shredded chicken for athletes. Great soup!

Double up on the spices like everyone else has said! Would recommend adding more lentils if not dipping bread :)

Doubled the spices - very good!!

Turned out great! Not sure all the measurements were correct but the end result was really nice. Both I and the resident 4 year old enjoyed it (after some scepticism).

Double the spices like everyone says, delicious

Like others mentioned, it wasn't spicy enough but I added a few spoons of gochujang paste to give it a bit more kick. Also I was in a bit of a rush so did the saute in the instant pot then after adding the the sweet potato spices, lentils and stock, I pressure cooked for 10 mins before reducing, and simmering the remaining ingredients. It was delicious. Will definitely try original instruction next time to compare.

Double slices except chilli

Add more of the spices

2x spices, 3/4 stock, no kale or coriander.

I added chicken to help me meet my protein goals. I also mixed brown and red lentils because I didnt have enough brown lentils.

Delicious! Will make it again and again!

So good with lime. Added a little bit of rotisserie chicken. Ate it with rice. Would make again.

This is so good holy moly. I had rice with it and naan. My lorrrrrrd. My gawdddd

😋😍

This was really good! We followed other suggestions to double the spices, which worked great. Except the crushed red pepper, I don’t think I’ll double that next time. It was too spicy for me which started to cover up the flavor. But my husband is a spice guy and loved it. And the left overs mellowed so they were better. We didn’t end up adding any lime juice, it was so good as is. Simmer time stated in the recipe was also pretty accurate, just took 35 minutes for us.

Would Def double the spices next time. Didn't have lime or coriander to garnish, but they would add a great finish

I triple the spices, but you'll need less if you reduce the stew more. Stir it up before serving to get the lentils up from the bottom.

Really loved this. I did add extra spices and especially ginger. It was one of the best meals I've made in a while

Great!! Made enough for 6, served 5.

I used at least double the spices and it was still bland. Neither my husband wanted to eat the leftovers again.

Had to put in triple the amount of spices but turned out delicious, especially topping with nigella seeds at the end.

It's pretty good. I added extra seasoning, green peas, tofu, and chickpeas

Really good... Think it's the best way I've ever cooked kale!

Definitely double the spices! Super tasty and hearty- love it!

Easy. Follow the others advise and double the seasoning, with the doubled seasoning it had good flavor. I added garbanzo beans as well, and substituted the kale with spinach. Easy and would make it again!

Needs more spices as per the other comments

Throw in some lime zest and juice!

Recommend using yams instead of sweet potato for a more savory flavor.

Delicious and very easy to make.

changed like everything. it's my recipe at this point

it's good but the flavor's missing something, even after more than doubling the spices. maybe some curry paste? adding cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the does help boost it, but still. i do wish i reduced the amount of stock as others did. also used a mix of lite coconut milk and oat milk. will try again, seems like a good recipe base to try your own additions / seasonings.

Yum! We followed others’ recommendations and doubled the spices while reducing the amount of stock. We also substituted spinach for kale. It went very well with some garlic naan on the side.

Cubing sweet potatoes sucks. After that hard work everything went together nicely. I added 5 chile arbors and one ghost pepper for some added heat. The favors are great, it has a nice consistency, and it’s dang healthy. Good recipe that’ll go on my monthly.

Not bad. I added some curry powder to give it more flavour.

Delicious! Reading through other comments first, I doubled the spices (except chilli flakes) and reduced the stock by a quarter.

Upped the spices and reduced the stock (as others had suggested), also added more lentils, used squash (butternut and mystery veg box) rather than sweet potato, and realised at the end I'd forgotten to put the ginger or garlic in 🤣 So not sure I really did make this recipe, but I did make something tasty! 😋

Added a full teaspoon of coriander, cumin, and a full teaspoon of chili red flakes. It turned out perfect for most of us but too spicy for one of the kiddos. So next time, I'll make it to the recipe and let individuals who like it spicier add a little red chili to their own

Not bad needs alittle more seasoning. Will make again, will need a bit more spice. Easy to make

Surprisingly easy, healthy, cheap and delicious. Will definitely make this more often.

Mostly followed the recipe. As usual, I used zero oil and salt during cooking. I doubled all ground spices. I used my instant pot, but will stove top it next time as the sweet potatoes overcooked. Overall it is tasty and the recipe gives us a generous leftover.

This is so good!! The flavors are superb. Will def make again. Used butter instead of oil. (Prep all ingredients beforehand. Makes cooking v fast + efficient)

- Sauté onions in butter instead of coconut oil - Added zucchini - Needed thickener - Don’t be shy with the spices

Delicious combination of flavours. I doubled the spices and reduced the stock by a third as others have said. I was also suffering with a cold, so I added a fresh chopped red chilli in with the onion to help sweat it out which I felt really gave it a kick this time. It's a really adaptable recipe. The base ingredients set it up, but taste as you go

Super delicious! It was a little too spicy for me on the first day but by the second day it had mellowed out and was even better! Added yogurt to cool it down. Would definitely make again!

Made this so many times I’ve lost count! I’ve tried to vary it up with different potatoes, or use plant-based milk to cut calories, but it never comes out as good. My advice, follow recipe ingredients exactly, unless you’re adding more spice. I would also add one additional cup of water and put sweet potatoes in 10 minutes after the lentils so they don’t overcook.

A delicious new go-to. I used coconut cream instead of coconut milk and it was delicious! Very filling and delectable. One edit I’d make is that this makes about 4 full servings, not 6 as the recipe states. We only had enough for 4 full bowls and had a little half bowl leftover.

I’ve made this a couple of times and it’s super delicious! The second I added some chicken for even more protein but I think I actually liked it better without.

Delicious take on a dish I’ve made other versions of before. Yes, double the spices and the ginger/garlic. Yes, double the veg. I also added garam masala and a little anise and cardamom.

Loved this ! Made with cubes of winter squash and some oyster mushrooms... Great protein filled veggie dish. Add a nice coleslaw with an thai dressing for a starter to make it a complete meal.

Doubled the spice, and swapped the chili flake for 2 red Kashmiri peppers. Highly recommend tofu and rice

It was rlly good. My family liked it served with naan bread, but next time I’d be interested in making some sweet potato rolls or flatbread. I did it to serve 3, and I doubled the spices (but not the chilli)l I think I might have accidentally doubled the lentils too, bc I added 100g but it was rlly good. I used split red lentils, which kinda of mushed but it wasn’t bad bc it kinda just thickened the stew and bulked it out. Used spinach instead of kale which worked fine. Rlly lovely and tasty.

Amazing flavor! Easy to prep ahead

The quantities of the ingredients outlined definitely would not feed 6 people. It fed 3 of us with a small portion left over. If I made it again I will double the veg and lentil quantities but keep the fluid the same amount. When I made it this time I did double the spice quantities as we do like to taste the spices, also I boiled off the water for a long time as it was extremely watery and soupy (which is not what we wanted) After making these slight adjustments it ended up super tasty and would make it again with changes.

Really good, mums ill and I think this will really help

Delicious! A standout recipe using these common ingredients for us.

We loved this one, super tastey! We also used spinach instead of kale which worked nicely, as my grandma needs the food to be a bit softer these days. She also doesn't do heat so I left the chili flakes out until the end... Added a whole bunch to the other two bowls as we served to give it that punch of heat 😙🤌. Will definitely be making again.

This was really good. I doubled all the spices but I subbed 1/4 tsp Indian chili powder (mirchi) instead of chili flakes. It was still a little spicy for the kids. I added guttar sunnam hot sauce to my bowl to make it hotter.

Really good. Doubled the spices as some others had suggested and added even more extra red pepper flakes and a little bit of sugar. When I reheated the left overs topped with some plain Greek yogurt I had on hand, which I would highly recommend.

I used spinach instead of kale and added Garam masala. Very tasty.

So so good. My husband doesn't often like vegetarian dishes, but this one took the cake. We did agree, however, that sliced sausage would be a good add if someone reeeally wanted a meat dish.

Used less vegetable stock than suggested (around 450ml), ended up with a good consistency

Made with ground pork, chard, and red onion. Doubled spices. 10 minutes in instant pot. Served over brown rice with yogurt, lime, cilantro, and cucumber.

Nice.

I would lessen the veg stock by a cup. Cooked it for longer than directed and it still ended up more soup than stew. Also added more salt than suggested and doubled spices and added a full jalapeno. Still almost too bland.

Delicious! Definitely would make this again. I added smoked cardamom for extra flavor

Just okay, a little boring.

I changed a few ingredients. It's a nice new way for me to cook green lentils. Makes the lentils and sweet potatoes full of flavour with a touch of spicy. In my experience, I usually like lentils dishes better after they cool down, so I expect it to be a perfect dish to bring to work and microwave.

It was great. Added some hot sauce and was perfect!

Creamy, hearty coconut curry. I added some tamarind paste for a sour tang. Used a pressure cooker on high for 8 min and it turned out perfect.

This was delicious. The lime made the dish. My kid likes anything made with coconut milk. Winner.
