Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced; 1 cup red lentils; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 3 cups vegetable broth; 1 tsp ground cumin; 1 tsp ground coriander; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/2 tsp ground turmeric; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat); Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot or tagine, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the red lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot. Stir well to combine all the spices with the ingredients in the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the tagine simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the lentils are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add more broth if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Once the tagine is cooked and the flavors have melded together, remove it from the heat.
Serve the Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato and Lentil Tagine warm, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
