Curiosity Encouraged

Sweet day with my people 💕 Food, Legos, food, walk, food, car shopping, food, Mario Cart, food. Full in all the ways.

Some of you asked for a recipe for my lentil stew, so here you go.

But first, you should know that if I ever started a restaurant, it would be called Winging It because that’s how I cook. I eyeball pretty much everything, so this recipe is not exact, but it’s as close as I remember :)

I made it in a crock pot, but you could do it on the stove.

2 cups broth (I used chicken)
3 cups of water
1 can black beans drained
1 can tomato sauce
1 onion diced
2 carrots diced
3-4 Yukon Gold potatoes diced
1/2 head of garlic diced
1 cup of green lentils
2 tsp or Harissa paste (don’t skip this unless you don’t like spice)
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of pepper

Things I didn’t have, but would have added- frozen corn and peas, diced ham or chicken, jalapenos, peppers

Put it all in the crockpot or pot. Bring to a bubble. Let it simmer until everything is soft or all day like I did.

If you cook it in a pot and want it like stew, maybe half the water and then add more if you need it. Otherwise, it may be more like soup.

Freezes great!

Let me know if you try it.
