Instructions
- Add oil over medium heat to a large pot. Add onions and garlic and saute 4-5 minutes until softened. Add in the spices, salt and pepper and saute another 1-2 minutes to meld the flavours.
- Stir in lentils, vegetable paste and tomato paste until combined.
- Stir in water and diced tomatoes, bring to a simmer over high heat. Once simmering, turn to medium-low heat and keep at a simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10-15 minutes to allow flavours to meld.
- While the stew is simmering, make the basil puree in a blender by blending basil & olive oil until well combined.
- When the stew is done, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove from the heat and stir in kale. Serve in bowls and drizzle with basil oil.
Notes
- Don't love lentils? You could try substituting with navy / cannellini beans instead.
- If kale isn't for you, try adding in spinach.
