lentil stew

[Guest guest]

I made a wonderful lentil stew recently.

 

Put 1 cup lentils and 2-3 cups water in 6 qt. pot, bring to a boil,

and simmer about a half hour.

While lentils are simmering, chop up several stalks of celery

(including leaves), a few parsnips, a few carrots, and some winter

squash (or add already baked winter squash at the end of cooking

time). Add chopped vegetables to pot (it should be almost full) and

simmer another 10-15 minutes or so.

I also had a big bunch of kale from the garden, so I sliced

thinly and mixed it in just before I turned off the heat.

 

It was ambrosial! And even better the next day.
