Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (210°C).
- Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork in several locations and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Roast on the middle rack of the oven until tender, about 45 minutes, stopping once to flip.
- Add the oil to a large pot on high heat. When hot, add the green onion and yellow, cooking for 5 minutes. Add splashes of water as needed to de-glaze the pan.
- Add the garlic and saute for another 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Then add the curry powder, cumin, and coriander, stirring continuously for 30 - 60 seconds to toast the spices.
- Then add the lentils, quinoa, water, bouillon cube, and sambal. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer with the lid partially covered. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the broccoli and bell pepper, stir, cover fully with the lid, and allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar.
- When the sweet potatoes are removed from the oven and cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes down the centre and gently squeeze open. Use a fork to mash down inside of the sweet potato, to make room for adding fillings on top.
- Scoop the lentil and quinoa mixture into the "pockets" of the sweet potato. Drizzle the sauce generously over top, and enjoy!
Notes
