Notes on Ingredients
- Kale: You can use any green including spinach or swiss chard.
- Lentils: Be sure to rinse your dry lentils before cooking them to remove excess starch. I used red lentils but any kind works.
- Sweet Potato: Butternut squash or carrot would work great in place of sweet potato.
