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 – most likely as a result of vegans don’t eat cheese from animals (or ice cream).

A “stew” often consists of massive piles of meat floating round. It is a stew – it isn’t made with meat and it’s terrific.

Lentils prepare dinner actually rapidly for beans and kind of dissolve which makes them creamy and thick – excellent for consolation. I selected purple lentils due to the colour however you may go together with brown or no matter you could have available.

Aren’t they stunning? I discover these often within the Spanish meals part however I purchased these at Entire Meals – so Bob’s Pink Mill it’s.

The purple does make this dish extra visually interesting which is essential in meals. My son loves a terrific presentation in the case of eating. He does complain once I serve him lentils as he solely needs 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 could 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 need to use no matter broth you could have available in case 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 effectively. All stews are higher the following day together with this one.
