Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup olive oil
2 onions, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed and finely chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 medium tomatoes, rinsed and cored and seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups brown lentils
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable stock
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cardamom pods
1 cup cashew nuts
3 medium zucchini, rinsed and trimmed and diced in half-inch pieces
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring frequently, for three minutes or until onion is translucent. Stir in curry powder, cumin, coriander and turmeric. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute. Scrape mixture into the slow cooker.
  • Add tomatoes, lentils, stock, cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods to the slow cooker. Cook on low for three to five hours or on high for 1 1/2 to two hours or until lentils are almost soft.
  • While lentils are cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast cashew nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • If cooking on low, raise the heat to high. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods, and add zucchini and cilantro to the slow cooker. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately over rice.

This stew was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more liquid, or if I had used a different type of lentils.

I'm not a vegan, but I really enjoyed this stew. The lentils were hearty and filling, and the curry spices were perfectly balanced. I served it with a side of naan bread, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The lentils cook quickly, and the curry spices add a lot of flavor. I also love the addition of cashew nuts, which add a nice touch of crunch.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less curry powder, or if I had added more yogurt to balance out the heat.

This stew was a bit disappointing. The lentils were overcooked and mushy, and the curry spices were too overpowering. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less curry powder and add more yogurt to balance out the heat.
