  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped or grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 150g (3/4 cup) green lentils, rinsed
  • 1 litre (4 cups) vegetable stock
  • 200ml (1 cup) coconut milk
  • 100g (3.5 oz) black kale, shredded
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Set Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ and add coconut oil. Sauté onion, carrot, garlic, and ginger for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in curry powder, cayenne pepper, fresh thyme, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  3. Turn off ‘Sauté’. Add potatoes, lentils, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
  4. Lock lid and set to High Pressure for 7 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then manually release remaining pressure.
  5. Stir in coconut milk and shredded kale. Let sit 2–3 minutes until kale wilts.
  6. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with naan bread, garnished with fresh coriander or lime juice if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper for desired heat level.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3–4 days.
  • For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the stew before adding kale.
