Preparation
Mise en place
Core and medium-dice the cubanelle pepper. Medium-dice the sweet potatoes. Drain and rinse the lentils.
Start the stew
In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes, cubanelle pepper and S&P. Sauté, adding the garlic halfway, 6 min., until beginning to soften.
Make the spiced sour cream
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions), a pinch of the spices and S&P.
Protein Boost: Cook the tofu
Pat the tofu dry with paper towel; cut into medium cubes. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tofu and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden and heated through.
Finish the stew
To the pot of potatoes and pepper, add the kale, lentils, tomato sauce, demi-glace, remaining spices and 2 cups water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, 6 to 8 min., until tender; season with S&P. (Add tofu, if included.)
Plate your dish
Divide the stew between your bowls. Dollop the spiced sour cream over top. Bon appétit!
