I love sweet potatoes and lentils and this uses both. A bit of a Thai twist to this great dish. Great with quinoa!

Instructions
- Cook lentils in water according to package instructions. If using bulk, you use 2-2.5 cups water or broth to one cup lentils. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer for approximately 30-35 minutes or until soft.
- While lentils are cooking, in a separate medium sized pot, add sweet potato, coconut milk, basil, sriracha, and spices. Bring to a simmer and let simmer until sweet potato is soft and fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes depending how large they are cut)
- Stir in the chopped green pepper and cooked lentils. Let simmer another few minutes.
- Serve hot, as is or over rice. Enjoy!
