Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g brown lentils (soaked overnight)
  • 500 g potatoes (diced)
  • 1 large onion (finely diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2 carrots (sliced)
  • 1 stalk leek (sliced)
  • 1 liter vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and chopped garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced carrots and leek, and sauté everything for an additional 5 minutes. Ensure the vegetables do not burn; they should be soft but not browned.
  3. Add the soaked and drained lentils and diced potatoes to the pot. Include the bay leaves, dried thyme, and paprika, and stir everything well to evenly distribute the spices.
  4. Pour 1 liter of vegetable broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to low to medium and let the stew simmer for 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. After 30-35 minutes, the lentils and potatoes should be soft. Remove the bay leaves and season the stew with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overcooking the lentils; they should be soft but not mushy. A large, heavy pot is ideal for even heating and cooking. You can adjust the ingredient ratios based on your preference, but ensure there's enough broth to keep the stew moist.
