Potato Veggie Lentil Curry

Working as a brand ambassador for The Little Potato Company these last few months has been such a great opportunity to play around with a humble ingredient! Prior to this partnership, I hadn't been employing potatoes into my cooking nearly enough. Potatoes are such a versatile, nutritious, and affordable vegan staple. I'm ashamed to think of all the great recipes I'd have missed out on had I not got this awesome opportunity to work with such an awesome brand. Little Potato Company, I love you!

Kind of like Creamer potatoes, curry dishes are another one of those things I needed a bit of a push to start using regularly in my cooking. Before going vegan, I could probably count on 1 hand the amount of times I'd prepared or even eaten any curry dishes. Stir-fries were my go-to healthy veggie-packed meal.

Not long before going vegan, I started my tumblr blog, Garden of Vegan (you can pretty much see my entire "vegan food journey" documented from day one over there!). Suddenly I started getting all these curry related messages: Do I ever eat curry? Do I have any curry recipes? and of course, plenty of suggestions for actually making curries. It was pretty obvious, I needed to get on the curry train ASAP. So I did! William and I have adopted all sorts of curry dishes as staples in our diet since then. Now we've got 1, 2, 3, and now today, 4 curry recipes on the blog (check them out at the bottom of the post!) It's funny to think that I may have missed out on all the curry fun if it hadn't been for my fantastic readers over on Garden of Vegan. Thank goodness for helpful suggestions from the internet!

Today, two of my more recent food loves come together to create a simple, nutritious main dish that's downright heavenly. I'm so excited to share this one with you guys!

This recipe features The Little Potato Company's Oven | BBQ Ready Kits. Have you heard of them? They're absolutely AWESOME! They're available in 3 flavours:

• Onion Medley: yellow potatoes roasted with a bold medley of sweet and tangy onions, chives and aromatic spices.
• Garlic Herb: the perfect blend of sweet roasted garlic, onions and fragrant rustic herbs roasted on mixed red and yellow potatoes.
• Barbecue Blend: red potatoes roasted with a hickory smoked, BBQ flavour combining onions, garlic and a rich medley of herbs.

Today I'm using the Barbeque Blend and adding a kick of curry goodness with some yellow curry powder. MmMmm... This is a match made in heaven. These Oven | BBQ Ready Kits are so easy to prepare! Just add a little olive oil, mix in the seasoning package, and bake or barbeque them for a deliciously simple vegan summer side dish. They're super versatile and perfect all by themselves or to include in all sorts of recipes, like this Veggie Lentil Curry!

This main dish is packed with veggies: zucchini, carrots, kale, tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and of course, Creamer potatoes (potatoes are vegetables too, you know!) It's basically a 1 pot meal that's ready in under an hour (45-50 minutes if you're organized!)

This recipe makes about 8 servings, so feel free to halve the recipe if you need to. It makes awesome leftovers so it would be perfect to prepare one weekend and eat throughout the week. Enjoy!
