Introduction
This recipe was inspired by one in a Skinny B**** cookbook, but I added very un-vegan Parmesan cheese and replaced the suggested breadcrumbs with cooked Puy lentils. I think this is a great combination- sweet sweet potatoes pair wonderfully with delicate leeks and earthy lentils. You'll be surprised!

Ingredients
-
Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
1/2 Onions, raw, thinly sliced
Leeks, 3 leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned, outer layer removed, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into 1/4" pieces
Sweet potato, 2, peeled and sliced 1/8" thick
Vegetable stock, 1/3 cup
*1/2 cup cooked Puy lentils (green or brown lentils if not available, do not use red lentils)
Parmesan Cheese, grated, 4 tbsp
Directions
Heat half the olive oil in a large saute pan and use the other half to grease a casserole dish. Preheat the oven to 400.
Saute leeks and onion until soft. Add in herbs and spices of your choice (I used dry thyme and rosemary).
Place 1/3 of the sweet potato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with half the leek mixture. Add another 1/3 of the sweet potatoes and top with remaining leeks. Finish with remaining sweet potatoes, then sprinkle cooked lentils over the top. Drizzle vegetable stock evenly over the top. Finally, top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
Cover and bake for forty minutes. Serve warm.
Serving Size: Serves four.
