This delicious recipe comes from the brand new issues of The 4 Blades Magazine – The Dinners Issue.
I created this recipe for our Soups and Stews section of The Dinners Issue which launched July 1st. Oh boy is this a delicious stew. It has a subtle curry flavour, a slight sweetness and a delicious subtle coconut flavour. This was a complete fluke and oh boy is it delicious and is a regular in our house now. It may look very basic (and even unappetizing) but the flavour is delicious!
To add meat to this dish, you can add a diced chicken breast to the basket then place sweet potato and lentils on top.
