Lentils with vegetables is an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy meal, packed with nutrients and delicious flavor. This combination of legumes and vegetables is an endless source of health benefits, in addition to being an economical and easy-to-prepare option. Furthermore, this recipe is ideal for those of us who need to pack our meals, as it tastes even better when prepared in advance.

Lentils with Vegetables Recipe: Healthy Flavors in One Dish

Legumes are a fundamental food in our diet, especially if we follow a Mediterranean diet. Moreover, they are incredibly versatile. While we often associate them with hearty and calorie-dense dishes, such as stews, we can actually prepare a wide variety of recipes with legumes. Just like this light and healthy lentil stew with vegetables, we can also make salads, like this lentil salad with prawns.

Lentils with Vegetables Recipe

This recipe is prepared just like any other lentil stew, but without the addition of meat, making it even simpler. We start by making a sofrito with the vegetables, ensuring that we consider the cooking times of each vegetable and incorporate them into the sofrito accordingly.

For our lentils with vegetables, we rely on classic ingredients such as onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini. However, feel free to incorporate as many vegetables as you like or substitute them with your preferred ones.

Simply chop the vegetables, make a sofrito with them, add some spices, and cook them together with the lentils. For cooking, we use vegetable broth and water. Cook until the lentils are tender, and voila, our fantastic and light recipe is ready.

Let’s go through the step-by-step process:

Total Time 1 hour hr

Cuisine Mediterranean
Servings 4 People

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g lentils
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 zucchini
  • 500 ml vegetable broth
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • We'll start the day before by soaking the lentils. Although it's true that this legume doesn't require it like others do, it's still a good idea to soak them. If you choose not to, you'll just need to cook them for a few more minutes.
  • The next day, when we're ready to start our recipe, the first thing to do is to prepare the ingredients. We're going to peel and chop the vegetables into small cubes. Set them aside.
  • In the pot where we'll cook the lentils, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once it's hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat. When the onion turns translucent, add the bell pepper and carrots. Cook together for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Now, add the tomatoes and zucchini, ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Once the tomatoes have reduced, add the paprika and mix well. Cook for a minute, being careful not to burn the paprika.
  • With the sauté ready, add the lentils and mix. Add the vegetable broth and, if needed, add more liquid to cover the lentils with water. Bring to a boil and let them simmer over medium-low heat for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender.
