Tomato-Curry Lentil Stew

I discovered this one day while trying to use up some leftover canned tomatoes and celery. You could probably double, triple, etc. the ingredients and brew up a whole pot of this. Feel free to use fresh tomatoes too, if you like.

Step: 1

Combine lentils and water, bring to a boil.

Step: 2

Lower heat to simmer, add tomatoes, onion, and celery. Cover and let simmer 45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes to stir, and add water if necessary. Add spices last 15 minutes to taste. Taste and re-spice if necessary before serving.

The word “stew” can process to 2 time a food and a make dishes method. Stewing makes not fast cooking piece of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, instead it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being processing menu whole , and the liquid all of it covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking eating process that comfortable you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
