Ingredients:
1. Place sweet potato in a steamer over boiling water, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.

3. Add the lentils, balsamic vinegar, and the remaining broth. Continue to cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes more until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the steamed sweet potato and parsley. Divide into bowls and enjoy!
Note:
Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days. Reheat with extra vegetable broth if lentils become too dry.
