TIPS

Here are some tips for the preparation of Lentil And Vegetable Stew:

  • Use The Right Lentils: Brown or green lentils hold their shape best in stews. Red lentils break down more, creating a creamier texture.
  • Enhance The Flavour: Add a bay leaf or a pinch of cumin while simmering for a richer taste.
  • Make It Thicker: If you prefer a thicker consistency, mash some of the lentils with a spoon before serving.

VARIATIONS

  • Add More Vegetables: Throw in diced potatoes, courgettes or bell peppers for additional nutrients.
  • Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
  • Boost The Protein: Stir in a handful of cooked chickpeas or quinoa for extra protein.
  • Creamier Texture: Blend half the stew for a creamy, thick consistency.
  • Herb Infusion: Add fresh thyme, rosemary or bay leaves for an aromatic touch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavours improve over time.
  • Freezing: Freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheating: Warm on the stove over low heat for 5 minutes or microwave for 2 minutes, stirring through halfway.
