Directions

1. To steam the sweet potatoes, peel and chop them into ½-inch cubes. Place a steamer attachment over a large pot of boiling water. Steam the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they're very tender. Set them aside.
2. Rinse the lentils and place them in a small pot with enough water to cover them by a few inches. Bring them to a boil and reduce them to a simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until they're tender but firm when you taste them. Drain them.
3. Transfer the sweet potatoes, lentils, and chopped green onions to a large mixing bowl.
4. Whisk together the garlic, tahini, mustard, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and red pepper, along with 1 tablespoon water. Pour this mixture over the sweet potato and lentils. Mix everything well. Check for seasoning and add extra lime juice, mustard, or salt to taste. Serve.
