Lentil stew with rice, carrots, and squash

March 2, 2014 por Carolina Rojas 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe

I find it amazing the turnaround I’ve had with legumes, because when I was little I did not like them at all, and it was a “torture” having to sit and eat them at least once a week. And now that I’m an adult I love them, the variety of ways that we can cook them is what I enjoy the best, and I have the challenge to make my kids to also like them. So, I’ve been creating different ways, it has not been easy, because my 4 year old son is in a time when his taste is now more demanding.

Today I bring a simple lentil stew, I hope you enjoy it.

    I’ve been living in Chile for 12 years and this is by far my favourite recipe for lentils. Thanks for posting this in both English and Spanish so I can share it with friends and family outside of Chile.
