Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for garnish
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups red lentils
  • 1/4 cup white miso
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • sea salt, to taste
  • ground pepper, to taste
  • chopped fresh cilantro for garnish, optional

Directions
  1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, sweet potato, cumin and paprika and sauté 1 to 2 minutes, until spices are fragrant. Stir in water and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until lentils and sweet potatoes are soft, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a blender or food processor, purée red lentil-sweet potato mixture with white miso, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Put hummus in a serving bowl. Drizzle with a bit of additional olive oil and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
