RED LENTIL STEW WITH SWEET POTATOES AND Peppers

BLW appropriate from 6 months! It is an ideal dish for beginners.

If I were to pick one dish that I make the most, that my son likes the most and that is one of the quickest and healthiest meals prepared in 30 minutes, it would be this one.

I change it up every time adding different spices and vegetables.

❗️TIP: if you have the following ingredients in your kitchen at all times, you will always be able to prepare a healthy and yummy meal:

?Celery (for stews, sautés, soups, smoothies)
?Carrots (for steaming, stews, sautés, soups)
?Onions (for stews, sautés, soups and meatballs)
?Sweet potatoes (for steaming, stews, sautés)
?Parsley || for everything
?Cilantro || for everything

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium yellow onion
2-3 carrots
4 celery stalks
1 large sweet potato
1.5 cup red lentils
1 red pepper
1/2 cup of chopped parsley
1/3 tsp Turmeric
1/3 tsp Curry

METHOD:

1. Chop the onion, celery and cut carrots in circles. Cube sweet potato into 1/2 inch cubes. Rinse red lentils.

2. Heat up 1 tbsp of coconut oil (or oil of choice) in a deep pot. Sauté the onion, carrots and celery for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

2. Add sweet potato and lentils. Pour enough water so that all the vegetables are covered by a 1/4 inch=pinky width (not more bc the dish will become too soupy). Lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes.

3. Add chopped red pepper and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, turmeric and curry. Cook for 10 minutes.

NOTE: red lentils fall apart very quickly and become creamy. They are perfect for a stew like this and definitely not good for adding to a salad.
