A balance of sweet and savory this perfect cool-weather stew comes together in a flash with minimal prep. The stew is filling on its own, but if you have leftover brie from Monday's meal, a slice of brie and crackers makes a great side.

Prep
- Sweet potatoes / Onions / Kale - Prep as directed and store separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Cheese - Remove brie from fridge and let it sit at room temperature while you prepare the stew so that it is soft and spreadable when you're ready to serve.
- Lentils - Rinse and drain, removing as much liquid as possible.

Make
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then onions, kale stems and a pinch of salt. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened.
- Add potatoes and saute until potatoes are starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Pour in tomato paste, stock, lentils and bay leaves. Simmer stew until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- When stew is done, remove from heat and stir in kale leaves and lemon juice. If you'd like a more creamy stew, puree about half of it with an immersion blender. Taste and season with some salt and pepper and more lemon juice, if needed.
- Ladle stew into bowls and top with yogurt. Serve with brie and crackers on the side. Enjoy!

Maybe 4 stars with a spicier sausage. It faded as leftover rather than getting better, as most stews do.
0 HelpfulUsed 20 oz sweet sausage, 1/2 cup lentils and substituted spinach because that is what I had on had. Loved this! Husband had 3 bowls!
0 HelpfulThought it needed something at end so I added teaspoon salt and lots of parsley :) I thought it was great for time being short to make it and freezing well
