Introduction

Low calorie, high flavor. I like to use a mix of beans but you could certainly use a can of one kind for ease. I often substitute skim or lowfat milk for the coconut milk to skim more calories. I'm a little heavy handed with the lentils, so more water may be necessary.

Ingredients

    1 TB EVOO
    Half large yellow onion, diced
    Half red bell pepper, diced
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 TB Chili powder
    .75 Sweet Potato, cut into chunks
    .75 c red lentils*
    .5 tsp salt
    2 c veggie broth
    Half can black beans
    Half can kidney beans
    1.5 TB red curry paste
    Half can low fat coconut milk
    14oz (ish) can diced tomatoes
    .25 c cilantro and lime wedges, to garnish


    *you can certainly substitute other lentils if red are unavailable. Adjust cooking time/liquid.

Directions

Preheat a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Saute onions and pepper in oil with a pinch of salt, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute a minute more.

Add chili powder, sweet potatoes, lentils, salt and vegetable broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. When lentils are cooked and sweet potatoes are tender, add the remaining ingredients and heat through.

Taste for salt and seasoning, top with cilantro and lime and serve
