North African Lentil Stew

 

Recipe By : Jump Up and Kiss Me, by Thompson, page 92

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Jump Up And Kiss Me

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large yellow onion -- chopped

3 jalapeno chiles -- seeded and diced

3 garlic cloves -- minced

1 tablespoon pure chile powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup dried lentils

16 ounces canned chopped tomatoes -- with juice

3 cups Vegetable Stock

1 butternut squash -- (2-pound)

peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 bunch chopped kale -- large bunch

(about 1 pound)

Salt -- to taste

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

Serves 6

 

Hearty and laced with the deep flavor of chiles, this is the perfect stew

for a cold winter night. You can vary the ingredients according to taste

and availability-instead of butternut squash, try acorn squash or pumpkin,

and perhaps use Swiss chard or spinach instead of the kale. Serve with

couscous or rice followed by a salad of greens with orange slices.

 

In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion,

chiles, and garlic and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the chile powder and cumin and cook 1 minute. Add the lentils,

tomatoes, and stock and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover,

and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes, adding a bit of

water if necessary. Add the squash and simmer until tender, about 20 to 25

minutes. Add the kale and cook until just wilted, about 5 minutes. Season

with salt and pepper.
