Shelby not only is a highschool friend of mine but she is an incredible cook. Check out her site: www.grumpyshoneybunch.com for many delicious recipes. Below is her version of lentil stew. Let her know how you liked it!
HoneyB’s Lentil Stew (Vegan)
1 medium carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 bay leaf
Saute the above ingredients until softened. Then add:
2 cups uncooked lentils
4 cups water
4 cups vegetable broth (made with better than boullion vegetable base)
1-14.5 can diced tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Simmer until lentils are cooked, approximately 1 hour. If you wish, you can add more water to thin this out into more soup like consistency. We like to eat it a little thicker.
