Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp oregano dried
  • 1 tsp basil dried
  • 2 tsp thyme dried
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
  • 19 oz brown lentils canned, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable paste
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes canned
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups kale thinly chopped

Basil Oil

  • 1/2 cup basil packed, fresh
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Stir in lentils, vegetable paste and tomato paste until combined.
  3. 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.
  4. While the stew is simmering, make the basil puree in a blender by blending basil & olive oil until well combined.
  5. When the stew is done, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. 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.
