Now that I’ve got more energy I’m enjoying making soups and stews for my lunches. Normally I make a big potful and freeze it in individual portions.
I made this simple stew in my slow cooker the other day, it tasted great so I thought I would share it with you.
- 300g dried lentils, washed
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 400 g tinned tomatoes
- 1-2 red peppers, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 600 ml chicken stock
- 3 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Put all the ingredients, except the olive oil, in the slow cooker. Cook on low for approximately 8 hours, until the lentils and vegetables are tender. Stir in the olive oil just before serving.
I served this with some salad leaves and home made dressing.
