Instructions

Step 1

In large dutch oven, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, curry, allspice, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.

Step 2

Stir in 4 cups of broth, the sweet potatoes, lentils and bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to medium and partially cover the pan. Simmer for 25 minutes. (If lentils seem dry, add up to 1 cup stock or water as needed.) Stir in mustard greens and apricots and continue cooking until lentils are tender, about 10 minutes longer.

Step 3

Divide the lentils between bowls and top with cilantro, hazelnuts, yogurt and a squeeze of lime juice if using.
