30 Best Recipes to Make This September: Butternut Lentil Stew
by eatwell101
Yield: 6 servings Prep Time: 10 min Cook time: 25 min
This butternut lentil Stew in creamy coconut sauce is an excellent plant-based dinner for just about any night of the week!
Ingredients you need for the Butternut Lentil Stew
Directions
1. To make the coconut butternut lentil stew: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook 5 minutes until soft. Add the ginger, garlic, and diced butternut squash and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne and cook for one minute more.
2. Add 3 cups of water (or low-sodium vegetable broth). Season with salt and pepper and bring the stew to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the butternut is tender.
3. Stir in the coconut milk, lentils, and chopped kale, cook for 5 minutes. Remove the stew from the heat and add the fresh cilantro.
4. Divide the coconut butternut and lentil stew among bowls. Sprinkle with more cilantro and Cayenne, if you like. Enjoy!
