Packed with fiber, this lentil and kale dish is a great low-fat side dish or one-pot vegetarian main meal. For a creamier sauce, add heavy cream at the end.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 1 large red onion

  • 1 (8 ounce) package dry lentils, rinsed and sorted

  • water to cover

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 bunch kale, or to taste, chopped

  • salt to taste

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook red onion in hot oil until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

  2. Pour lentils into the pot with onion; add enough water to cover the lentils by 2 to 3 inches. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low.

  3. Stir tomato paste, garlic, brown sugar, and paprika into the lentil mixture to integrate the paste smoothly into the liquid; bring to a simmer and cook until the lentils are tender, about 1 hour.

  4. Stir kale into the lentils, reduce heat to low, and cook until the kale is tender, 10 to 15 minutes; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
