Lentil stuffed sweet potatoes

Ingredients

Chile-cilantro sauce

Preparation

Step 1

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Rub sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper, and bake until fork-tender

Step 2

• Rinse lentils, transfer to pot
• Cover with plenty of water, bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Cook uncovered until done, about 20 minutes (lentils are done as soon as they are tender). Drain

Step 3

• To make the chile-cilantro sauce, combine olive oil, juice from half a lemon, garlic, cilantro and chile pepper in a blender and blend until very smooth.
• Season with salt and adjust lemon to taste

Step 5

• Serve sweet potatoes cut lengthwise, topped with lentils, topped with green sauce, topped with pepitas. Side salad strongly suggested

Notes

Great with a side-salad.

Amounts of main ingredients can all be futzed. Always better to have more lentils than less
