Ingredients for the Lentil Stew Recipe

Green lentils: Green lentils, also known as French lentils, have a nuttier flavor and stay firm when cooked. For salads, green lentils are the best option. Beluga lentils, which have a similar texture to French lentils but are black in color, are new to the market. If you like red lentils, you can try my “Lentil Meatballs Recipe“.

Carrots, potatoes, and onions: When it comes to carrots, potatoes, and onions, I always use organic products. According to a study on organic food, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, or carrots from organic farming are healthier than conventional foods. They contain more vitamins, bioactive substances, and so-called antioxidants. By the way, responsible use of agrochemicals protects nature and the environment and, above all, groundwater. And where pesticides are not used, residues cannot accumulate in fruit and vegetables.

Oil: You can use sunflower oil or rapeseed oil.

Tomato paste: This is one of the ingredients that I always have in my refrigerator.

That`s it! Let’s start to prepare our delicious lentil stew recipe.
