Green Lentil Stew

Hearty green lentils with potato and a splash of vinegar

Ingredients

• 1 glass of green lentils
• 1 large onion
• Tomato paste
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 tiny potato, diced small (if you have one)
• Black pepper
• about 4¼ cups boiling water
• Half a spoon of vinegar
• Salt
• Oil, for sautéing

Method

1. Boil the green lentils about 10 minutes; drain.
2. Sauté the onion in oil, then stir in the tomato paste.
3. Add the garlic last so it doesn't burn, then the diced potato if using.
4. Add black pepper.
5. Add the drained lentils, stir once or twice, then pour in about a liter of boiling water (about 4¼ cups).
6. Stir in the vinegar.
7. Cook at least 40 minutes (it varies by lentil); don't forget the salt.

Notes

• The garlic goes in last so it doesn't burn.
• Cooking time varies by lentil — at least 40 minutes.
• About a liter of water (about 4¼ cups).
