Lentil Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 brown onion

• 3 cloves of garlic

• 4 cups of vegetable stock (could potentially need more depending on how long the lentils take to cook)

• 2 cups of dry green lentils 

• Crispy sour dough bread (for serving)

Method

• In a large saucepan over medium heat cook onions slowly, about 8 minutes. When the onion is soft add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 

• Reduce heat to low, add the vegetable stock and the lentils. Cover the pot and simmer until tender, 35 minutes (this could vary, so you'll need to taste the lentils to make sure they're properly cooked and not grainy). 

• When lentils are cooked, transfer 2 cups of the mixture into a blender and blend it until it's smooth. Stir the puree back into the soup and season with salt and pepper. 

• Serve with some slices of crispy sourdough bread.
