Equipment

  • stew pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 green pepper sweet pointed pepper
  • 2 leaves bay leaf
  • 200 gr lentils dry, here I used the brown ones
  • 1 carrot
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1/2 t spoon turmeric
  • pepper and salt
  • 2 tbl spoon olive oil
  • 1 handful parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cut the onion and green pepper into small pieces. Grate the garlic clove.
    We now first make a "sofrito".
    Put the 2 tbsp olive oil in a stew pot and add the pieces of onion, garlic and green pepper. Stew this until the onion becomes transparent.
  • Cut the tomato into small pieces and add it to the "sofrito" together with the bay leaves
  • Rinse the lentils until the rinse water runs clear. Add the lentils to the rest and cover with water. Top up with water until it is about 2 cm above the lentils.
  • Depending on the type of lentils you use (so also read the packaging), we let it simmer for 30 minutes on a low heat.
  • In the meantime, we cut the carrot into slices (0.5 cm thick) and the potatoes into cubes of max. 3 cm thick.
  • When the lentils have cooked for half an hour, we add the carrot and potatoes. Keep in mind that brown lentils can also turn your carrot and potato brown. I provide an extra carrot that I cook separately and use to give the dish extra color when serving.
  • Season with salt, pepper and the turmeric.
  • Provide a fresh green touch when serving with some extra parsley.

Notes

After 13 years, Isabel is an indispensable part of our lives. Cooking is also one of her passions and this recipe is all hers. Lentils along with potato and carrot is a very common combination here. It is therefore mainly eaten at noon as a main meal, often supplemented with meat or fish.
