Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon butter, or to taste

  • 1 red onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons dukka

  • 1 tablespoon garam masala

  • 5 ¾ cups vegetable broth

  • 1 ½ cups red lentils

  • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 3 ½ ounces baby spinach leaves

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, dukkah, garam masala, and garlic; cook and stir until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in sweet potatoes; cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
