Creamy Thai Sweet Potatoes and Lentils

Pour lentils, broth, and sweet potatoes into a large pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 30-45 minutes, or until lentils and sweet potatoes are just barely done cooking. Add the turmeric, tomatoes and ginger to the pot and cook for another 10 minutes.

Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet. Add garlic, onions, and jalapenos. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook for 10 minutes, or until cabbage is cooked through.

Add cabbage to lentil pot and stir in coconut milk. Top with cilantro.

Notes: The turmeric is important because it helps with flavor, but also with the bright yellow color. Without it, the color of the dish starts to look a little dull.
