Lentils stew



                                      Lentils Stew 






A hearty and filling dish. Good to prepare. Tastes better every time you warm it up. 

This is what you need:

- 200 gr brown Lentils


- 300 gr Potatoes (around 3 big)

- 100 gr Carrots (around 1 big)

- 100 gr Celery Root (or 2 Celery stacks)

- 100 gr Leak (optional)

- 500 ml (2 cups) Vegetable Broth

- 500 ml (2 Cups) Beef Broth

- 1 TBSP Butter

- 3 TBSP white Balsamic Vinegar

- Parsley for garnish



This is how you do it:

Wash the Lentils and put them with the 2 cups of Vegetable Broth in a pot and cook it for 30 min covered. Dice all the vegetables in same size piece in the meantime. 


Fry the Vegetables in a big pot with the butter for 5 min.. Add the Beef Broth and let simmer for 5 min.. Add the Lentils and stir well. Add the Vinegar and Salt for taste. 

You might add some Bacon bites. Fry them in a pan until they nice and crisp. Remove and add the butter to the Bacon grease and fry your Veggies in that. 

You might also add some wieners. They make a nice little insert. If you are vegetarian, just leave them all out and you have a nice vegetarian dish.


Garnish with some Parsley

Guten Appetit
