Tips:

  • Use a variety of lentils for a more complex flavor and texture. Lentils come in different colors and sizes, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite lentil stew recipe.
  • Soak the lentils before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the lentils more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the lentils, you can rinse them well and then cook them for a longer period of time.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the stew. Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to the stew. Some good choices for vegetables to add to lentil stew include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and greens.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a broth that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a canned broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Season the stew to taste. Once the stew is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Lentil stew with ham and greens is a hearty and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. The lentils are a good source of protein and fiber, while the ham and vegetables add flavor and nutrients. This stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
