Linseneintopf - Berlin-Style Lentil Stew image

This is modified from Kate Rodriguez's recipe on suite101. She says that "One of the most popular and enduring dishes in Germany is lentil stew (Linseneintopf), a tasty blend of lentils, vegetables and broth, adaptable to different tastes." I say: it's veggies and lentils! (Meat is only optional, and you'll find this dish quite satisfying without!)

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 bowls of stew, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup green lentil (uncooked)
6 -7 cups water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 spring onions, white and greens chopped
2 potatoes, cubed (small)
2 carrots, diced (again, only peel if desired)
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 -3 vegetable bouillon cubes
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tablespoon white vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
4 -8 sausages, precooked (wieners, knackwurst, bockwurst, etc.)

Steps:

  • Bring the lentils with 3 cups of water to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 25 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a soup pot over medium heat, saute the onion and spring onion in canola oil for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the potatoes, carrots and celery and saute 3-4 minutes.
  • Add 3 more cups of water and the stock cubes. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, till the lentils and vegetables are completely cooked. Add the final cup of water, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  • If preparing the omnivorous version, drop in the sausages, and continue simmering for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, to taste, along with the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lentil stew is usually served with bread or rolls. White vinegar is also offered at the table for those who want a stronger sour flavor in their soup.
