Lentil & Pea Stew

Lentil & Pea Stew

I make soups & stews all year and one of my favorite things what I make a soup
from are lentils. Lentil have a lot of vitamins, fibres & minerals. I make this for
my mom because she works during the aspergus time and I want her to be filled
up with something good and made with ♥♥♥. ^^

My stew brings channa dal, brown lentils & yellow peas together. I used 3 kind of
lentil & peas because I wanted them out of the kitchen. You can use lentils & peas
or just lentils or just peas. It's better to soak dry peas over night in water because they
are bigger than lentils & channa dal. Íf you wanna soak also the lentil and dal do
it in a sepeate bol.

If you are vegetarian leaf the meat out. It's a healthy stew also for diet.

Ok, let's make a pot.........

Ingredients:

625 g dry lentils & peas

2 chicken breasts

3 medium onions

1 tbsp butter or oil

1 leek

2 spring onion

2 medium carrots

5 medium potatos

some tomatos

ground black pepper

salt

1 pinch of asafoetida

ground cumin

ground curry

ground paprica

1 litre stock

150 ml apple juice

Preparation:

1. Wash lentils & peas in water until clear. Put them in a big pot and leaf them in clear
water over night but soak big dry peas in a separate bol or pot. Next day: don't rinse
the lentils. Cook with water. Bring first the yellow peas to boil. Cook for about 15
minutes. Than add brown lentils and channa dal. Cook everthing until soft.
Notice: cook without salt otherwise it can happen that the lentils
and peas won't cook soft.

2. Meanwhile wash, peel & cut veggies & chicken breast into chunks or rings.
Set veggies aside.

3. Heat butter in a pan. Sauté onions and chicken breast & spice it up with salt,

black pepper, curry & asafoetida. Cook for about 3 minutes. Set aside.

4. Add potatos, leek, spring onions, carrots & stock to lentils mix. Also add salt,

black pepper, curry, paprica, cumin to taste. Cook until veggies get soft. Than add
apple juice, sautéd onions & chicken breast. Maybe taste again with salt & pepper.
Cook until everything is soft. Turn heat off. Finally add cutted tomatos. Let stand
for 10 minutes. Serve with any bread you like.

Tip: For all chilli lovers add harissa or other chilli paste.
