curried lentils and sweet potato

Curried lentils have become one of my favorite meals. We make them all the time! This preparation is particularly easy because it's made in the crock pot. That's right, just put all of the ingredients in and turn it on! A few hours later you'll have a warm and satifying meal.



You'll need:

1/2 cup lentils (we used red)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 can diced tomatoes
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 cups water

1-2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
salt
pepper

Add all ingredients to the crock pot and give it a stir. Turn heat to low, cook for 4-5 hours, or until potatoes are tender. Season to taste.
