Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped potatoes and carrot in a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the red lentils, onion, zucchini, and the spices (cumin, coriander, bay leaf, salt, black pepper). Cook for 10 more minutes.
  3. When it is ready, add the pressed garlic, ground flax seeds, and lemon juice.
  4. For a creamier texture, you can take part of the potatoes out, mash them and bring them back to the pot.
  5. Stir everything well. Sprinkle some chopped parsley and paprika on top and enjoy!

Notes

  • Red lentils cook faster than normal ones. If you use brown lentils cook them for longer.
  • You can change the consistency of the stew, if it is too thick, just add more water to it.
