This pumpkin lentil stew is surprising. It’s each comforting and vegan!
No offense to the vegans who learn this web site however many individuals don’t conflate veganism and luxury – in all probability as a result of vegans don’t eat cheese from animals (or ice cream).
A “stew” often consists of huge piles of meat floating round. It is a stew – it isn’t made with meat and it’s terrific.
Lentils cook dinner actually shortly for beans and type of dissolve which makes them creamy and thick – excellent for consolation. I selected purple lentils due to the colour however you may go along with brown or no matter you may have readily available.
Aren’t they beautiful? I discover these often within the Spanish meals part however I purchased these at Entire Meals – so Bob’s Crimson Mill it’s.
The purple does make this dish extra visually interesting which is vital in meals. My son loves an excellent presentation in terms of eating. He does complain once I serve him lentils as he solely desires to eat macaroni and cheese (not kidding).
Lentils are a wonderful supply of B nutritional vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. While you add kale, one other dietary powerhouse – you may have a very unimaginable dish.
Attempt my lentil tacos or lentil pasta sauce for different nice lentil choices.
The important thing to creating this stew work is the flavoring brokers. Pumpkin and lentils are bland so to make it work – you want recent ginger, onions, garlic, and curry powder. You additionally must saute them to unleash their potential.
When you do that – the stew won’t be bland and boring!
You should use no matter broth you may have readily available when you don’t have vegetable broth. If I’m out of broth, I’ll combine 1/2 white wine with water to substitute.
I serve this with rice or squash, some yogurt, and cilantro or parsley on high. This pumpkin lentil stew freezes properly. All stews are higher the subsequent day together with this one.
