Pumpkin Lentil Stew: Vegan & Hearty

November 6, 2022   8 Feedback

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 – in all probability as a result of vegans don’t eat cheese from animals (or ice cream).

A “stew” normally consists of large piles of meat floating round. It is a stew – it’s not made with meat and it’s terrific.

Lentils cook dinner actually shortly for beans and kind of dissolve which makes them creamy and thick – good for consolation. I selected pink lentils due to the colour however you possibly can go together with brown or no matter you have got readily available.

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

The pink does make this dish extra visually interesting which is necessary in meals. My son loves a fantastic presentation on the subject of eating. He does complain once I serve him lentils as he solely needs to eat macaroni and cheese (not kidding).

Lentils are a superb supply of B nutritional vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. If you add kale, one other dietary powerhouse – you have got a very unimaginable dish.

Strive 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 contemporary ginger, onions, garlic, and curry powder. You additionally must saute them to unleash their potential.

When you do that – the stew is not going to be bland and boring!

You should use no matter broth you have got readily 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 prime. This pumpkin lentil stew freezes effectively. All stews are higher the following day together with this one.

Have you ever tried a pumpkin lentil stew? What did you consider it?
