Recipe
Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Place sweet potato and carrot on a baking tray lined with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion, ginger, garlic and chilli until golden. Add the spices and stir until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the stock cubes, lentils and water and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked and the sauce begins to thicken.
While sauce is simmering, place 1 cup uncooked brown rice in a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups of water and turn heat to high to bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Once the sweet potato and carrot is cooked, add to the curry mixture and stir to combine. Add the barramundi and gently simmer for 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through. Add the spinach leaves and lemon juice and stir through. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Serve the curry with brown rice, Greek yoghurt and fresh coriander.
