This post is also available in german/deutsch.This delicious lentil and vegetable stew, which we would like to introduce to you in more detail below, is a very tasty and easy to prepare dish.
Lentils are a real “superfood”. Because they contain nothing but good ingredients such as vitamins, minerals and, above all, amino acids. These are the small building blocks from which proteins are built.
These also fill you up for quite a long time. In addition, a few potatoes, carrots and other vegetables are included in our lentil pot.


By the way, it can be warmed up a second time and then tastes even better.
So remember that you are preparing a large enough quantity, you can enjoy it during lunch break or you can portion the lentil vegetable stew or you freeze it.


WHICH LENtils?
Lentils are a great ingredient and we use them in our dishes as often as possible. eg. lentil bolognese, in salads, as patties or as soup. The lentils can be used in many ways. All types of lentils are suitable for the lentil stew, not so good are red and yellow lentils. Because these disintegrate too quickly. Puy lenses, plate lenses, mountain lenses are ideal for this. Beluga lentils too, but then the stew gets quite dark.
