Mexican Lentil Stew
This recipe came from Budget Bytes. I adapted it quite a bit. To make the original recipe go over to Budget Bytes and see what I changed.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups dried red lentils- rinsed
1 pound sweet potatoes - peeled and cubed
3 medium carrots- peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium onion-chopped
6 cups chicken or turkey stock
1 14.5 ounce can Hunts Fire Roasted Diced tomatoes
4 cloves garlic- minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker- cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the vegetables are tender.
I garnished with parsley.

Morning,
ReplyDeleteLinda, That stew looks wonderful. I really like the fact that it is loaded up with lots of good stuff. Making it more like a meal. Nothing better than a nice chunky stew. I have been thinking soup/ stew myself.
Thanks for sharing the great looking meal.

Wow, this is really a healthy looking dish. What did Gabe say? This looks like you could freeze it in portions. You are such an amazing cook.
ReplyDeleteLinda-you've got me thinking I might try lentils again. I hear the red ones are the best ones to buy? Your stew looks so good. I'd love a bowl, please :)
