Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1- inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
1 1/2 tsp garam masala
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded if desired, then minced
4 to 5 cups vegetable broth as needed
2 lb orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into
1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
1 1/2 cups dried lentils
1 bay leaf
1 lb swiss chard , center ribs removed, leaves thinly sliced
1 tsp kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
finely grated zest of 1 lime
juice of 1/2 lime
1/3 cup finely chopped tamari almonds, for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup chopped scallions, for garnish .

Directions:

1. In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, garam masala, curry powder and jalapeno. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
2. Stir in 4 cups broth, sweet potatoes, lentils and bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, partially cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. (If lentils seem dry, add up to 1 cup stock, as needed.) Stir in chard and salt and pepper, and continue cooking until lentils are tender and chard is cooked, about 30 to 45 minutes total.
3. Just before serving, stir in cilantro, lime zest and juice. Spoon into a large, shallow serving dish. Garnish with almonds if desired and scallions.
