Brown rice, cooked according to package

3 medium carrots, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

2 Tablespoons minced garlic

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2-3 cups), chopped

2. Add carrots, onions, garlic, and oil to a large saucepan. Sauté until soft and onion is translucent.
3. Add sweet potatoes to pot, saute until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

5. While the mixture is simmering, in a small bowl, add dates and cover with boiling water to soften for 5 minutes. Then, take the softened dates and 1/2 cup of the water and blend. this will make a sweet sauce to add to the lentils.
6. Once the lentils are cooked, add the coconut milk and date sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
