01
Step 1
Start by putting the lentils and water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently until the lentils are soft and the water has mostly absorbed—this should take about 20 minutes.

Step 2
While the lentils are cooking, heat some oil in a skillet or a tagine over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and cook them until they’re nicely browned and translucent, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Then add the garlic along with the turmeric, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let the spices cook for a few minutes until you can really smell their aroma.

Step 3
Next, add the cooked lentils back into the pan along with the potatoes, crushed tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Pour in the vegetable broth to bring everything together. Lower the heat and let it all simmer gently for about 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
