Spanish Lentils (lentajas)

I was looking for a new recipe for lentils.  I found a few recipes that looked Delicious.  The best recipe was Spanish Lentils Stew (lentajas)


I used Spanish Lentil Soup, I did have to change it to make it vegetarian.

1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
garlic, chopped
3 handful cherry tomato, chopped
1/2 bag frozen peppers
3 small potatoes, chopped
1 soy chorizo, chopped
1 cup shredded kale
2 cups lentils
4 cups veggie broth
1 t cumin powder
1 t sweet paprika
1 pinch saffron

Cook onion and garlic in water until starts to turn color

Then add all other ingredients in a pot and cook for 30 to 45 minutes until veggies and lentils are cooked

Brazilian Stew

This black bean stew is so delicious. I just had to have seconds. I used the recipe from Color Me Vegan

• onions
• garlic
• home-made chorizo sausage, crumbled
• 2 yams diced
• black beans
• water
• peppers (I used tri-color)
• 1 jalapeño pepper
• oregano
• cumin
• can chopped tomato with juice
• cilantro
• mango 

I cooked the black beans. Then I added all of the ingredients except cilantro and the mango. I brought the stew to a boil then cooked covered for 20 minutes on low heat. After you put the stew in the bowl add the cilantro and the diced mango.

This yummy stew was eaten on a bed of brown rice by my boys. While I enjoyed the stew alone. 

This Brazilian Stew is so delicious I will be making it again! This stew was enjoyed by the entire family. And it adheres to the Eat to Live diet.
