Instructions
1
Wash and halve the sweet potato lengthwise.
2
Fill a pan with plenty of water and bring to a boil. Then add the sweet potato halves and cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Transfer to a tray and let cool a little. Use a spoon to scoop out the cooked sweet potato flesh from the skins and cut into medium dice. Set aside the sweet potato skins for stuffing.
3
Wash and cut the spinach into medium strips. Chop up half an onion.
4
Put a little olive oil into a large skillet. Fry the onion over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring often. Then add the diced sweet potato and fry for a few more minutes, stirring often.
5
Add the lentils and fry together with the rest of the ingredients. Season with a little salt.
6
Finally, add the spinach. Fry for 2 more minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and check that the ingredients are well cooked.
7
Stuff the sweet potato skins with the contents of the skillet and serve.
