''Verdant Spanish Lentil Delight''
Elevate the classic Spanish lentil recipe with the Verdant Spanish Lentil Delight. Packed with nutrient-rich veggies and aromatic spices, this vegan masterpiece brings health and flavor together in perfect harmony!
Ingredients:
1½ cups dry brown lentils, soaked overnight*
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 cup white onion, chopped
1 medium potato, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup zucchini, chopped
1 bay leaf (2 if small)
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Black pepper, to taste
4-5 cups water
1 teaspoon white miso paste (optional)
Instructions:
In a large pot, sauté minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and translucent.
Add soaked lentils, chopped potato, carrots, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, zucchini, and bay leaf(s) to the pot.
Sprinkle ground turmeric, ground ginger, and black pepper over the veggies and lentils. Stir well to coat evenly.
Pour in 4-5 cups of water, enough to cover the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the lentils and veggies cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender.
If using, dissolve the white miso paste in a small amount of warm water and add it to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate.
Remove the bay leaf(s) and season the dish with additional black pepper if desired.
Serve the Verdant Spanish Lentil Delight hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
Note: *Make sure to follow the instructions on the lentil package for soaking times as different types of lentils might have different requirements.
Serves: 4-6
