Sweet Potato and Red Lentil Dal

Dal is an Indian dish made with simmered and spiced legumes. The variations of dal are endless!

This version combines red lentils with sweet potatoes for a comforting, flavorful stew that’s loaded with fiber.

National Co+op Grocers is a co-op made of co-ops, including Basics! Find more delicious recipes and learn more about what's in your food, where it comes from, how to prepare it, and much more at grocery.coop.
