Savory Lentil Stew: A Hearty Vegetarian Delight
  • Prep Time

    1 hr 10 mins
  • Total Time
    1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 5 cups of fresh water
  • A packet of dry lentils (16 ounces), rinsed thoroughly
  • 1 ½ cups of dry white wine
  • 3 cups of diced carrots
  • 3 cups of chopped celery
  • 2 cups of flavorful vegetable broth
  • A can of diced tomatoes (16 ounces)
  • 1 ½ cups of finely chopped onion
  • 1 ½ cups of vibrant bell peppers
  • 1 ½ cups of tender cabbage
  • Half a can of tomato paste (8 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons of rich brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of aromatic curry powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons of freshly chopped garlic
  • 1 ½ tablespoons of onion powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons of kosher salt (adjust to your liking)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of zesty black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cumin

Step 1

In a spacious saucepan, bring water and lentils to a gentle boil. Once boiling, cover the pan, lower the heat, and let it simmer until the lentils are tender, usually around 15 to 20 minutes. Next, turn up the heat, pour in the wine, and allow it to simmer and bubble for an exciting minute. Lower the heat again, cover the pan, and let it simmer for another 3 minutes.

Step 2

Now, it's time to add in a delightful array of ingredients. Stir in the carrots, celery, flavorful vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, cabbage, tomato paste, brown sugar, aromatic curry powder, garlic, onion powder, a pinch of salt, some pepper, and the warm essence of cumin. Cook this fragrant mixture, giving it a good stir now and then, until the flavors meld beautifully and the veggies reach a tender state. This process typically takes around 45 minutes to an hour.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by storing your cooked lentils in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help keep them fresh and ready to use in your savory stew.
  2. 2. Chop and store your fresh vegetables in glass containers in the fridge. This way, they will stay crisp and maintain their vibrant colors until you are ready to add them to the stew.
