Lentils With Sweet Potatoes

Lentils With Sweet Potatoes
Delicious, hearty, and extremely healthy. The only drawback is that there's a fair amount of chopping -- I have very little time to make dinner during the week, so I usually do the chopping for this over the weekend, and then just start throwing things in the pot after work. This is a variation on a recipe from Mark Bittman's _How to Cook Everything Vegetarian_, but that recipe calls for regular potatoes and no onions. I really enjoy the flavor of sweet potatoes, and I think onions make everything better, so I do it this way. We often eat it over brown rice, but it's also good just by itself.
