You may have a Halloween or Bonfire Night gathering coming up and are looking for a warming stew/casserole. Well how about considering this one!
Ingredients
Serves Four
1 tbsp. olive oil 1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced small
1 celery stick, diced small
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tbsp. sundried tomato paste
2 sprigs of rosemary
1 bay leaf
700ml hot reduced-salt chicken stock
1 x 400g tin pomodorini cherry tomatoes
1 x 400g tin green lentils, drained and well-rinsed
100g cabbage or kale, any tough stalks removed, shredded
To serve (optional) a few Parmesan (or vegetarian alternative) shavings
a few basil leaves
a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
Method
1. Heat the oil in a large casserole or heavy-based pan. Add the onion, carrot and celery; cover and cook gently for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the rosemary, bay leaf, stock and tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove the rosemary and bay leaf.
3. Add the lentils and cabbage or kale; simmer for 5 minutes until the veg is tender. Season. Serve in bowls with Parmesan shavings, basil leaves and a drizzle of oil, if you like.
Tip - Get Ahead
Make up to 2 days ahead, cool and chill. Gently reheat until piping hot, adding a little more water if necessary. Freeze (without the cabbage/kale) for up to 1 month.

Definitely going to make this one. I love soup. Make a huge pot and freeze in individual containers.
ReplyDeleteYum. Though I would replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock.
ReplyDeleteThis looks perfect for a cold Halloween night - ... The weather man in our area is predicting that we might actually get a winter storm around November 5. I have another one to tell my cook about! looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy a nice hot bowl of soup. Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks filling.
ReplyDeleteYUM!! And we are having the perfect weather for this recipe! Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!!
ReplyDeleteJohn will love that soup! I love that picture :)

Oh gosh, does this sound good!
ReplyDeleteI realize I'm late visiting, Jan, but I appreciate your visits while I was too sick to return them. This stew looks like what I needed when I was so sick. It looks wonderful and sounds even better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a amazing what one can do with lenitals. I sometime want to try some Dalithoy which is lenital base and it from India.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Ooo yes please!
ReplyDeleteHello Jan, this is another recipe that is right up my street. Looks delicious and very healthy. Would replace the chicken stock with an organic vegetable stock. Great photo too, recipes with photos are the most appealing I think.
ReplyDeletethat looks delicious
ReplyDeleteYummy....getting lots cooler here and I have been wanting to make a pot of chili, but if I looked hard enough I could probably locate a bowl in the freezer! Cooking for just one is hard and harder when you have had gastric by pass cause it seems like such a waste that you cook all that and only eat a few bites. I end up giving so much food away. Esp since I love to bake and don't need all that here. My friends are asking me to stop sharing! haha
ReplyDeleteBet it tastes as good as it looks! Thanks, Jan.
ReplyDeleteLove the Halloween image, too :}
Yum! We just made our first soup for the colder weather the other day. Minestrone will be on our list soon. A vibrant soup is packed with such great nutrition.
ReplyDeleteI love making stews in fall and winter! They are a great way to cut back on meat and add more vegetables to the diet. This one looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds yummy - and easy!
ReplyDeletewhat a good idea! thank you, I will try it :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Definitely a goer Jan ✨
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I make something similar- I DO love this kind of thing, especially with luscious lentils (though they do give me dreadful wind!) x
ReplyDeletesounds familiar and best for me
ReplyDeleteno prohibition for any of these ingredients
