1/2cup(125 mL) dry red split lentils, rinsed & drained
1-2tsp(5-10 mL) Harissa spice mix or chili sauce, or to taste!
1 1/2cups375 mL low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
4-6largeeggs, depending on size of pan & servings
1/2cup(125 mL) crumbled Feta cheese
chopped fresh parsley, cilantro or basil
Directions
In a skillet with a lid, over medium, heat canola oil. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, yam, lentils, spices and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover for 5 to 7 minutes until yams and lentils are soft. Mixture should be a sauce consistency; if dry, add additional broth or water.
Make 4 to 6 "wells" in the lentil mixture to place the eggs in. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl and then gently pour into a well. Crumble Feta cheese over the sauce and eggs.
Cover and continue to simmer over low heat until the eggs are poached until desired doneness.
One of my go-to’s. I love that it is high in protein, vegetarian and is all in one dish! I usually use carrots instead of yams because I have them kicking around more often.
