Ingredients
- 4 small sweetpotatoes about 1 1/2 pounds total
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup cracked freekeh (sprouted wheat is a good substitute)
- 1 cup puy lentils
- 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
- 4 cups curly kale (1 Large bunch)
- Lemon Blender Dressing See below
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Nutritional yeast
LEMON BLENDER DRESSING
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 large garlic cloves chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- A few good grinds black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F with a rack in the center. Cut the sweetpotatoes into 1/2-inch dice. Place on a sheet pan and toss with olive oil and some salt and pepper. Roast until lightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place freekeh (sprouted wheat) in a small pot along with three cups water and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for five minutes. Drain any remaining water. In a separate small pot, place lentils, herbs and a big pinch of salt. Cover with water by an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain remaining water.
- Strip kale from stems and break leaves into bite-sized pieces. Toss well with a few tablespoons of dressing . For dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and process until perfectly smooth and creamy. Place some kale salad into each serving bowl. Arrange sweetpotatoes, freekeh and lentils on top. Drizzle with extra dressing and sprinkle with nutritional yeast if you like.
