here is another simple, very low waste, and super healthy meal (the only waste comes from the little bit of plastic wrap the parmesan was wrapped in-all the rest is bulk). it was so tasty that i was still thinking about it the next day. lucky for me and julia, there were leftovers. the spices made it! i channeled Hassan's dad in The Hundred-Foot Journey and "spooned them in". (we loved this movie!) probably could have even added more of the spices. :) i had to record this, so i wouldn't forget it…and maybe you'd like to try it too?
lentil rice sweet potato bowl
one large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup rice
1 cup lentils
3 1/2 c. water
kale-4-5 leaves de-ribbed and sliced
cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, pepper flakes, salt-about a 1/2 spoonful each
parmesan grated
pecans
mix sweet potato with a bit of olive oil and bake at 425 F until browning- around 30 min. at the same time put rice, lentils to boil with the water in covered pot and then simmer…should be done around the same time as the sweet potatoes…add kale to covered pot for last 3 min. or so…mix spices in with kale, lentils and rice…top with sweet potatoes, parmesan and pecans. ours served 4 + some leftover.
enjoy! and if your lucky, you'll have some leftovers too. :)
