From the Test Kitchen

Here, a hearty duo of green lentils and kale get incredibly rich, bold flavor when cooked with spicy yellow curry paste and sweet coconut milk—plus a squeeze of lemon juice for a hint of brightness. It’s perfectly balanced by toppings of roasted sweet potato and creamy garlic yogurt.

Using a zester, finely grate the remaining clove into a paste (or use the small side of a box grater). In a bowl, combine the diced shallot, chopped ginger, and chopped garlic. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then finely chop the leaves. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Roughly chop the peppers.

Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the curry paste. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined.

Cook, stirring occasionally, 18 to 20 minutes, or until thickened. Add the chopped kale. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the kale is wilted.
