Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup diced potatoes

Legumes and Broth

  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté these ingredients for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables become soft and aromatic.
  2. Add Main Ingredients: Stir in the diced potatoes, cooked lentils, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and thyme. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  3. Simmer the Stew: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the stew simmer gently for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
  4. Season and Serve: Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and serve the stew hot, ideally accompanied by crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the lentils with other legumes like chickpeas or black beans if desired.
  • For extra flavor, add a bay leaf during simmering and remove it before serving.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for variety.
  • Use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the salt content.
  • Leftovers refrigerate well and taste even better the next day.
