Time 8h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried lentils, sorted and rinsed
1 lb butternut squash, peeled and cubed
10 small red potatoes, cubed
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 ounces frozen cut green beans, thawed

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except green beans in a 4-5 quart slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours until lentils, squash, and potatoes are tender when tested with knife.
  • Increase heat to high setting.
  • Stir in thawed green beans, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until mixture is thoroughly heated and beans are tender.
  • If you have a new, hotter cooking crockpot, cook on low for 6-8 hours until lentils and potatoes are tender.
  • If the recipe is 'mush' you cooked it too long. And always season food to taste.
  • The crockpot mutes spices, so you may need to add more curry powder and cumin before you serve it.

Tips:

  • To make the stew more flavorful, use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • If you don't have raisins on hand, you can substitute dried cranberries or apricots.
  • To make the stew ahead of time, simply cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the stew over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the stew with a side of rice, couscous, or naan bread.
