Red Lentil Vadouvan Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Sauté the carrots, onion, and celery in the olive oil until they start to caramelize a bit.
• Add the garlic about a minute before the vegetables are finished sautéing.
• Add the red lentils, and stir until mixed with the vegetables.
• Add the stock, tomatoes and juice, cumin, and Tabasco, if using.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce heat to medium low.
• Simmer until the lentils are tender, about 25 minutes.
• If the liquid all evaporates and the lentils are not done, add a little water to keep the simmer going.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water, onions, garlic, and 2 bouillon cubes to a boil in a large pot. Add lentils, squash, carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes. If the majority of food is not covered in water, add more water and the corresponding amount of bouillon. Bring to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Add celery and simmer for 5 minutes. Add watercress, peas, dill, and soy sauce. Mash some of the potatoes and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes

Steps:

• Spray a large pot lightly with oil and heat it over high heat. When hot, add the cumin and mustard seed; cook for 1 minute or until seeds begin to pop.
• Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes.
• Add the lentils, water, Vadouvan, garlic, and coriander. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook, covered, until lentils are completely soft, about 20 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and salt to taste. Simmer, uncovered, adding more water if necessary, for about 20 minutes.
• Just prior to serving, stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted but still bright green.
