Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based alternative
  • 4 tablespoons butter or plant-based alternative

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to bubble gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  4. While the stew is simmering, place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until tender. Drain and return to the pot. Mash with 1/2 cup milk and 4 tablespoons butter until creamy and smooth.
  5. Spoon the hearty lentil stew over a generous serving of creamy mashed potatoes and enjoy!
