CURRY RED LENTIL STEW WITH KALE &amp; CHICKPEAS

In large pot or stock pot, heat your oil over medium heat, saute onion and garlic until onion becomes transparent, about 5 minutes. Add spices, tomatoes, lentils, garbanzo beans and 6 cups of liquids, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Add in the kale and optional lemon juice, continue to cook for 10 minutes or until kale softens and wilts.

Serve alone, or over white rice, brown rice or quinoa. It would pair well with this flavorful Lime Cilantro Rice. And for soaking and swiping this vegan naan bread is just what you need. Enjoy!

This is one of our favorite recipes.  We love the fresh ginger, add very few red pepper flakes (I don't like much spice), but 2 Tbsp of curry, and some extra kale never hurts.  We don't use the rice because it's perfect just as it is. Others that I've served it to love it, too.  Thanks for a great recipe!

Very easy to make and very delicious! It does make a lot but I wanted to freeze it for future use anyway.

So good! I loved every bite! My mother and I love a GOOD curry. I used a curry spice blend that we had and it turned out AMAZING! Definitely a new addition into my dinner rotation. Thank you!

This was so good and easy to make. Thank you!

We tried this today and it was awesome!! Everyone loved it and it will be added to our list of favorite comfort foods. Thank you!!!

Easy tomato red lentil stew with spinach is my go-to dal recipe for cozy evenings. It's warm, full of hearty flavors and naturally healthy, vegan and gluten-free. I'm confident it will become your new favorite too.

Easy Tomato Red Lentil Stew (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

yellow onion, minced

(300 grams) red lentils, rinced

(1L) vegetable broth

tomato*

cherry tomatoes

(150 grams) fresh baby spinach

Chili flakes

Salt and pepper

In a medium saucepan or dutch oven, heat up the olive oil. Melt in the onions, diced, until soft and translucent.

Add red lentils and cover with broth or water. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Pour crushed tomatoes (or tomato sauce) and stir well.

Add cherry tomatoes, fresh baby spinach and give a good stir. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, add some chili flakes, and serve with a side of rice.

Thank you for the lovely dinner recipe!  We all loved it and it was ready with hardly any prep.  I threw in some leftover roasted pumpkin and the coconut milk :)

Delicious. Didn't have cherry tomatoes or basil but still tasted great. Used diced tomatoes instead of crushed so there weren't enough tomatoes, ended up needing a whole can instead of one cup. Great recipe, didn't have coconut milk like almost all lentil curries call for so it was perfect.

Easy tomato red lentil stew with spinach is my go-to dal recipe for cozy evenings. It’s warm, full of hearty flavors and naturally healthy, vegan and gluten-free. I’m confident it will become your new favorite too.

This simple stew is filled with complex flavor from ras el hanout, a Moroccan spice blend that creates warming, cozy flavors.

Red Lentil Stew

olive oil (or other neutral oil)

sweet yellow onion (roughly chopped)

carrots

garlic (minced; adjust to taste)

ginger (about one inch of ginger)

tomato paste

ras el hanout

vegetable bouillon

can full-fat coconut milk

lentils

garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges

Heat a Dutch oven or medium stock pot over medium-high heat. Drizzle with oil. Once hot, add the chopped yellow onion and carrot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the onion is softened.

Add in the garlic, ginger, and tomato paste. Saute until the garlic is aromatic and golden, about a minute.

Add in the ras el hanout, salt, vegetable bouillon, stirring consistently for 30 seconds to taste the spices. Deglaze the pot with a splash of water, stirring to remove any stuck on bits.

Add the remaining ingredients: water, coconut milk, red lentils. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce to a low simmer over low heat.

Continue cooking uncovered until the lentils are softened, about 15 minutes. Taste for salt. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
