About Lentil stew
Lentil stew is a hearty, nutrient-rich dish that originates from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, though variations are enjoyed worldwide. Made with lentils as the star ingredient, this stew typically includes vegetables like carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes, seasoned with herbs and spices such as cumin, garlic, and bay leaves. High in protein and fiber, lentils make this dish a satisfying option for vegetarians and vegans, while offering essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium. Lentil stew is low in fat and cholesterol, making it heart-healthy. However, its sodium content can be elevated if prepared with pre-packaged broths or added salt, so opting for low-sodium ingredients is ideal. Easy to customize, it can be paired with grains like rice or breads for a balanced and wholesome meal.
