Recipe Summary Hearty Vegetarian Lentil Stew
A hearty vegetarian lentil stew that's delicious, inexpensive, and goes a long way. Even if you're not a vegetarian, it makes a fulfilling, delicious meal. A nice crusty bread goes well on the side. Great to bring to work. This is a bulk recipe that keeps well refrigerated and reheats very nicely. Don't be afraid to scale down if need be.Ingredients | Vegetarian Store Edmonton5 cups water1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils, rinsed and drained1 ½ cups dry white wine3 cups chopped carrots3 cups chopped celery2 cups vegetable broth1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes1 ½ cups chopped onion1 ½ cups chopped bell pepper1 ½ cups chopped cabbage½ (8 ounce) can tomato paste3 tablespoons brown sugar2 tablespoons curry powder1 ½ tablespoons chopped garlic1 ½ tablespoons onion powder1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt, or to taste1 ½ teaspoons black pepper1 ½ teaspoons ground cuminDirectionsBring water and lentils to a boil in a large saucepan.

Don't be afraid to modify the amount and kind of spices to your own liking.Info | Vegetarian Store Edmontonprep: 30 mins cook: 1 hr 10 mins total: 1 hr 40 mins Servings: 18 Yield: 18 servings
