Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I made this today and it is so tasty. Again the recipe is designed for my small slow cooker so you may need to adjust the amounts. Christie Crockpot Lentil Stew 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 small chilli, finely chopped 2 sticks of celery, finely chopped 2 small carrots, finely diced 6 small new potatoes (I used a waxy potato which held together better) 2 tbsp olive oil 390g (14oz) chopped tomatoes, blended 2 Tbsp tomato paste 100g (4 oz) green lentils 1 pt vegetable stock Pinch of smoked paprika Pinch of ground cumin Pinch of dried oregano Freshly ground black pepper 1 orange or red pepper, diced Handful of mangetouts, finely sliced diagonally 4 leaves of pak choy, chopped, or a handful of fresh spinach leaves Gently sauté shallot or onion, carrot, celery and potato in olive oil for about 6 minutes, add garlic and sauté for a further 2 minutes. Add blended tomatoes, lentils and tomato paste and bring to the boil. Tip into crockpot, add vegetable stock , oregano and spices. Cook on Auto for 6 hours. Add pepper and mangetout and cook for a further 30 minutes. I have served this with brown rice but today I had it with boiled potatoes, Brussels sprouts and frozen petits pois and topped it with some freshly ground Moroccan Harissa spices (I bought the spice mill at Oxfam which is a charity shop here in the UK. As I love harissa, I keep grinding some of this onto everything I cook at the moment. I can't tell you how exciting it makes a simple meal of boiled potatoes and steamed veggies.)

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I made a stew very much like this a couple weeks ago except I added in a can of coconut milk before serving which made it a bit like a lentil chowder. christie_0131 <christie0131 wrote: I made this today and it is so tasty.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Good stuff that coconut milk. I have been struggling to find a good vegan dairy substitute that goes well with savouries. I don't much care for soya milk, and nut milks are ok with muesli but I find them too sweet to use with savoury food. So far the best I have found over here in Scotland is unsweetened Tiger White which is made from chufas or " tiger nuts " . This is a traditional Spanish drink called horchata de chufas. I don't believe that it is available in the US and the Mexican horchata de almendra sounds quite different.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Sorry, I forgot to include the translation, LOL! We call snowpeas mangetouts because you eat (mange) the whole thing (tout), pod and all.
