Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup diced potatoes

Others

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté these ingredients until they become soft and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: To the softened vegetables, add the diced potatoes, cooked lentils, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and thyme. Stir everything well to combine the tomato paste evenly into the liquid.
  3. Simmer the stew: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and flavors meld together.
  4. Season and serve: Season the stew with salt and freshly ground pepper to your taste. Serve hot, ideally accompanied by crusty bread for dipping and added texture.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add more cooked lentils or beans.
  • Feel free to substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
  • This stew can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar before serving to brighten the flavors.
  • Use gluten-free bread to keep the meal gluten-free.
