Today I feel like cooking a dish that I haven't prepared in a while. A good stew, but this time with lentils and not chickpeas. Also, to take care of my figure I am going to cook it only with vegetables. No chorizo, no ham, no bacon or bacon.

Well... okay... if you prefer to add chorizo or bacon, you can prepare our delicious recipes for Canarian lentil stew or Andalusian lentil stew. Up to you!

I love legumes and especially lentils. They provide many nutrients and keep you awake and energetic throughout the day.

For example, I love adding a touch of curry and giving it that characteristic Asian flavor.

How to make lentil and vegetable stew step by step

Peel and cut the red onion into medium sized pieces.
We open the green and red peppers. We take out the seeds, pour water over it and cut it into pieces.
We peel the zucchini and cut it into medium slices.
Once we have the previous vegetables prepared, we peel the garlic (we will put them whole) and put a splash of oil in a pot.
Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes and add the chopped tomato, pepper and a little salt to the pot. We cook for 5-6 minutes.
We remove the garlic and put the vegetables from the vegetarian stew in a blender glass, add a little water or vegetable broth and blend it.
Next, we cut the potatoes and carrots into medium portions. We add them to the pot with a little oil and the bay leaf. We cook for 3-4 minutes.
We put the lentils with the potatoes and carrots and add the vegetarian sauce that we have previously beaten.
We vigorously stir the lentil vegetable stew while it cooks everything together for 5 minutes.
We add enough water or vegetable broth to cover all the foods well and let it boil.
We periodically check the condition of the lentils until they are tender.
We remove the pot from the heat, take four plates and serve the lentil and vegetable stew.
