Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- olive oil
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Spicy crunchy slaw
- 5 cups red cabbage 1 cabbage head
- 1/3 cup mayo
- lemon juice to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
- pinch of salt
Bbq lentils
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1½ cup cooked lentils
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Put the sweet potatoes on a prepared baking sheet, rub them with olive oil and season. Put them in the oven and leave them there until they offer no resistance when pinched with a fork.
How to prepare the lentils
- In a frying pan, heat the lentils together with the bbq sauce. Adjust salt and pepper, season them well, sometimes I add a little ground chipotle while they are heating up.
How to make the crunchy spicy slaw
- Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can or use the food processor with the slicing attachment.
- In a separate bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and the chipotle. Toss the cabbage with the dressing just before serving.
How to put everything together.
- To prepare the sweet potatoes, make a cut in the center of each one without reaching the bottom. Open carefully and add a tablespoon or two of the lentils to the center of each. Finish with a tablespoon or two of the spicy crunchy slaw.
Notes
- If you don't have homemade mayonnaise, use Veganaise. Normal mayonnaise has eggs and other ingredients that we don't eat at home.
- Chipotle powder can be substituted for canned chipotle in adobo sauce.
- Store all the ingredients separately and combine them just before eating.
