BROWN BUTTER LENTIL AND SWEET POTATO SALAD
This simple lentil salad has a little secret: a toasty, brown butter vinaigrette perfumed with sage. The dish has as much texture as it does flavor. French green lentils or black lentils are the ideal choice, as they hold their shape well after cooking, but brown lentils will work too, though they'll be a bit softer. Start testing your lentils for doneness after about 15 minutes of cooking; you want them cooked through but not mushy, and they're best if they retain some bite. Roasted until tender, the sweet potatoes add richness, but feel free to substitute just about any roasted vegetables. Carrots, beets or red bell peppers would all be delicious in their stead.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and set a rack in the center.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Spread into an even layer and roast, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, 15 to 25 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes cook, prepare the lentils: Add the lentils to a medium pot and cover with about 6 cups water. Salt the water generously and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook the lentils until just tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain the lentils then return them to the pot. Cover to keep warm.
- Prepare the vinaigrette: Add the sage to a small bowl. Melt the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. (Use a pan with a light interior so you can easily see the milk solids change color.) Cook the butter a few minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the milk solids off the bottom and sides of the pan as needed, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell toasty.
- Pour the hot browned butter and all of the toasty bits over the sage; it will crackle and foam a bit. Let the mixture sit for 1 minute to let the foam subside, then whisk in the olive oil, followed by the red wine vinegar and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the pot with the warm lentils. Pour the dressing over the top and stir gently to combine. Add the parsley, season with more salt and pepper, if desired, and toss to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with goat cheese, if using. Serve warm.
LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES
Delicious, hearty, and extremely healthy. The only drawback is that there's a fair amount of chopping -- I have very little time to make dinner during the week, so I usually do the chopping for this over the weekend, and then just start throwing things in the pot after work. This is a variation on a recipe from Mark Bittman's _How to Cook Everything Vegetarian_, but that recipe calls for regular potatoes and no onions. I really enjoy the flavor of sweet potatoes, and I think onions make everything better, so I do it this way. We often eat it over brown rice, but it's also good just by itself.

Steps:
- Put the water/stock, lentils, and curry powder into a big pot over high heat. Cover. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat and bring down to a simmer. Keep it covered and simmering for approximately 10 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes, onions, and salt. Raise the heat until it returns to a boil, then reduce so that it's simmering again. Keep covered.
- Cook until the potatoes are soft, the lentils are tender, and most of the water/stock is absorbed, about 15 more minutes. If there's too much water, remove the cover so that some of the water can boil off. If there's not enough water, add more.
- Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!
