\n1 tbsp\u00a0sesame oil
\n1\u00a0red onion,\u00a0finely chopped
\n1\u00a0garlic clove,\u00a0crushed
\na thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
\n1 red chili, finely chopped
\n1\u00bd tsp\u00a0ground turmeric
\n1\u00bd tsp\u00a0ground cumin
\n2\u00a0sweet potatoes\u00a0(about 400g\/14oz), cut into even chunks
\n250g\u00a0red split lentils
\n600ml\u00a0vegetable stock
\n80g\u00a0bag of spinach
\n4\u00a0spring onions,\u00a0sliced on the diagonal, to serve
\n\u00bd small pack of\u00a0Thai basil,\u00a0leaves torn, to serve<\/p>\n
\nAdd 1 finely chopped red onion and cook over low heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened.
\nAdd 1 crushed garlic clove, a finely chopped thumb-sized piece of ginger, and 1 finely chopped red chili, cook for 1 min, then add 1\u00bd tsp ground turmeric and 1\u00bd tsp ground cumin and cook for 1 min more.
\nTurn up the heat to medium, add 2 sweet potatoes, cut into even chunks, and stir everything together so the potato is coated in the spice mixture.
\nTip in 250g red split lentils, 600ml vegetable stock, and some seasoning.
\nBring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 20 mins until the lentils are tender and the potato is just holding its shape.
\nTaste and adjust the seasoning, then gently stir in the 80g spinach. Once wilted, top with the 4 diagonally sliced spring onions and \u00bd small pack of torn basil leaves to serve.
\nAlternatively, allow to cool completely, then divide between airtight containers and store in the fridge for a healthy lunchbox.<\/p>\n
