👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Do not brown the vegetables; they should be tender. - 2
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Be careful not to burn the garlic. - 3
Stir in tomato paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Toasting the spices enhances their flavor. - 4
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Ensure lentils are well-rinsed to remove any debris. - 5
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until lentils are tender and the stew has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The cooking time may vary depending on the type of lentils used. - 6
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Lentils absorb salt, so it's important to season at the end. - 7
Ladle the stew into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors of the stew.
