Made this lentil dish and really liked it. I like lentils and find they are filling for the calorie count -- high bang for the buck!
Lentil Stew (found online)
1lb bag of green lentils, rinsed and picked through
1 – 32 oz box chicken or turkey stock (or broth if unavailable)
1 medium to large brown onion, diced
4 carrots, roughly chopped (about 2 cups)
1 – 28 oz can diced tomatoes (used low-sodium)
1 large russet potato, diced (about 4 cups) ( I used a sweet potato)
6 cloves garlic, minced (or to taste) (I used WAY less, and frozen.)
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large Crockpot and set to low for 6 hours. Stir after 3 hours if possible. (I think I cooked it on high for 3 hours, until it seemed done.) Serve with extra veggies - greenbeans, broccoli, spinach, etc. Made 10 servings for me, each was about 1.25cups and 185 calories. I also added some roasted chicken breast to some of the servings. Freezes well.
