Instructions

Recipe Lentils

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or a little veggie broth over medium heat. Cook yellow onion for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.
  • Add garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, and jalapeño. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  • Add 1 medium sweet potato, and tomatoes. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add tomato juice, and 2 cups veggie broth. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
  • Use an immersion blender, or transfer about 3/4 sauce to a blender, and blend until mostly smooth.
  • Return to saucepan and add split red lentils, and 2 cups veggie broth. Simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked. Stir frequently and add more veggie broth or water as needed.
  • Mix in 1/4 cup peanut butter and heat until warmed through while stirring.
  • Remove from the heat and add 1 tsp mellow miso dissolved in 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce, and fresh lime juice to taste. Add salt.

Recipe Potatoes

  • Slice potatoes about 1/8 to 1/4 -inch-thick.
  • Heat about 2 tbsp high-heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (There should be a thin layer of oil.)
  • Add the sliced potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Cook until golden and crispy before flipping, about 5 minutes.
  • Flip and add salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes more, or until other side is crispy.
  • Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook until tender.
