Ingredients

    2 lbs (about 3 large) russet potatoes, peeled and diced

    1⁄3 cup (85 mL) red lentils

    1 garlic clove, peeled

    4 kale leaves, stems discarded, thinly sliced

    ½ cup (125 mL) milk or half & half

    ¼ cup (60 mL) butter

    ¼ cup (60 mL) freshly grated parmesan

    freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Directions

  1. COVER potatoes with water and bring to a boil in a medium pot. Reduce heat, add the lentils and garlic, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.

  4. SERVE immediately or keep warm until you are ready to eat.
