Recipe's preparation

    LENTIL STEW
  1. Soak lentils overnight then rinse. Chop garlic on speed 7 for 5 seconds.

    Add oil and saute for 2 minutes/100 degrees/speed 1.

    Add lentils to TM bowl.

    Saute at 100 degrees on speed Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting" for 1 minute on Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" .

    Add stock, salt and water and cook for 20 minutes on Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" and on Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting" with MC removed and TM basket on mixing bowl lid to allow evaporation.

    After 20 minutes add potatoes and carrots and cook for a further 20 minutes.

    Once cooked check if the lentils are cooked to your liking. If you want to cook longer add a little extra water and cook for a further 5 minutes.

    Once cooked put in a cassorole dish or ThermoServer and leave the lid off and let sit for a few minutes. The lentils will further absorb the liquid. Serve with some rice. Very tasty, cheap and healthy meal.

Tip

Add Zuccini or other veges that you like. 

You can steam an omlette in the varoma or some fish to go with the Lentil dish.  If you do this add about an extra 150g of water and cook the dish at varoma temp.

    This was more soup than stew but it didn't matter.
    It was great!

    I add pearl barley to my recipe and double up on everything. I know the recipe says this is for 6 people but as its usually our main meal it's enough for two people with two helpings as it's so tasty

    Thank you! Great recipe - added zucchini, only did 1tbs stock & cooked for about 10mins longer with a bit more water and used soup mix.

    Very nice. I make this regularly. I add an onion in with the garlic and swap the brown lentils for soup mix as its really nice with the barley in it. Thanks for the recipe tmrc_emoticons.-)
