INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (~96g)
3/4 cup frozen Green Peas (~110g)
1/2 cup chopped Carrot (~65g)
1/2 cup chopped Celery (~50g)
1 medium Onion (~70g)
1 clove Garlic (~3g)
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (~240g)
1 cup Vegetable Broth (~240g)
1 cup fresh Spinach (~30g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (~4.5g)
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (~2.3g)
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme (~1g)
1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Parsley (~3.8g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried thyme, and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils begin to break down and the vegetables are tender.
Mix in the frozen green peas and fresh spinach. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through and the spinach wilts.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy this smoky, herb-infused lentil and vegetable stew.
