Ingredients
  • 3 celery sticks
  • 3 broccoli stems-optional (I never discard them. I remove the rough outer layer and use in many dishes)
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 yellow onion
  • a bunch of beet greens
  • 1 cup of french lentils (darker in color and smaller)
  • 1-1.5 cup of regular green lentils
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • olive oil
  • ½ tsp of turmeric
  • rosemary (I used dried)
  • Salt and pepper (for adults)
Instructions
  1. In a big pot, sauté chopped onions, carrots, celery and garlic for 5-8 minutes.
  2. Add chopped beet greens and broccoli stems. Sauté for 3 minutes.
  3. Add throughly washed lentils. Stir well. Pour water to cover lentils by an inch and a half. Season with salt, pepper, turmeric, rosemary. Simmer for 25 minutes or until desired consistency.
  4. Add more water if you like the stew to be soupy. Top with parsley or dill. I didn't have any today but it still came out delicious.
