As I usually do, I put all kinds of ingredients together one evening and came up with this recipe! Which is called Lentil Coconut Stew! I made a big batch and had a ready meal for each day of the week 🙂 Enjoy the recipe below!
Ingredients
1 Cup lentils (dry) – cook these prior to making the stew. Follow the instructions on whatever kind of lentils you decide to use. I used green, but you can lentil that holds its shape (red lentils doesn’t hold its shape).
1 (540ml) BPA free can chick peas
1 (796ml) BPA free can diced tomatoes (I used fired roasted)
1 (400ml ) BPA free can light coconut milk
1 (200~gram) Large red onion
260 grams Carrots
275 grams Cauliflower
100 grams Brussel sprouts
1 tsp Better than bouillon
Spices of choice (I used, a garam masala mix, fennel seeds, turmeric, black pepper, bay leaves, cumin and garlic)
Directions
Chop all veggies up and set aside. In a large pot sauté onion in a splash of water (stove on low-medium, ~4). Wait until onions turn a little soft (continuing to add splashes of water, as needed). Add all spices in and let sauté. Wait until spices start to stick to the pot just a little, then use a splash of water to “deglaze” the pot (this is how we bring out the flavours of the spice, to any dish we are making). Continue to sauté until onions are slightly caramelized.
Add 4 cups of water and turn stove on ~6-7 to get the water semi boiling then add your carrots, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower and 1 tsp of “better than bouillon”. Stir and cook until slightly tender.
Add your already cooked lentils, drained chick peas, tomatoes and 1/2 cup aquafaba (chick pea juice from the can). Stir and turn stove on 5 for 5 minutes or so. Then add your coconut milk and stir! Wolaa it is all done! Let cool and tub off for your weekly meal prep!
