One of our go-tos this fall is lentil stew in its various forms. It can be varied endlessly depending on what you have at home and what you fancy. This lentil stew is packed with nutrition from colorful vegetables, spices, high-quality fats, complex carbohydrates and protein. It also has several warming properties that we talk about in the podcast episode with Dr. Diamantis . It is also completely gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free.
Warming and packed with nutrition
Here is the recipe for our warming and grounding stew for both body and energy. It is also super good to serve with rice!
For about 4 servings:
1 golden onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 medium sweet potato
1 carrot
1 bell pepper
1 broccoli
3 cm ginger
1/2 squeezed lime
about 2 dl red lentils
500 g coconut milk + a few dl water
Real butter - for frying
Spices:
2-3 tsp red curry paste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry
1 vegetable broth
Salt and pepper
Do this:
Start by chopping up the vegetables and onion into rough pieces. Then fry the onion in a pot and then add sweet potatoes and the rest of the vegetables (skip the broccoli if you want to do like us and fry it in spices). Then pour in the lentils, coconut milk, a splash of water and the spices. Let simmer and stir occasionally for about 15 minutes until the sweet potatoes and lentils are soft/cooked. At the same time, you can fry the broccoli in real butter with garlic powder, a little cayenne pepper and salt and pepper. When the stew is ready, squeeze in half a lime and taste. Serve with the broccoli.
