tonight's dinner
I made a stew that turned out pretty well.
served 4; took about 45 min to make
1 cup chopped cooked chicken (I had leftovers)
1 large onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, crushed/minced
2 sweet potatoes, about the size of a fist -- chopped when cooked
1/2 cup lentils
1/2 cup frozen sweet corn
1 can of diced tomatoes -- 14 oz sized can
Start the lentils simmering in about a cup of water. Microwave the sweet potatoes for about 4 min or until just tender. Saute the onion and celery. Add the chicken and garlic. Continue to saute on low while you dice up the cooked sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes to the saute as well as the tomatoes. Add spices to taste -- I went with Italian spices, but Cajun or Indian would be great, too. When the lentils are almost done, add the frozen corn to the lentils and steam for a few minutes, then add to saute. Mix gently and serve.
