The weather is turning crispy here in New York and I'm craving stews and warming spiced dishes. But some times we think cozy stews have to take a long time and I'm here to tell you they don't! I made this lentil dish this summer when it was raining and it was perfect. Once you are done chopping, it's really just throwing ingredients into two pots. This 2-pot plant-based meal is ready in under thirty minutes, thanks to the quick-cooking red lentils. Chopping the sweet potato into a small dice speeds up the cooking!

Double it and have lots of leftovers for the week or freeze for a meal when you don't feel like cooking. I encourage you to play around with the spices and flavors too! I even had time to roast a head of cauliflower and made a pot of forbidden black rice to go with it (I knew my kids would eat the rice and the lentils, but wouldn't touch the potatoes!)

The sweet potatoes and cabbage would also make a standout side for pan-roasted salmon or pork tenderloin.

Happy Cooking!
