Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a large saucepan, combine water and lentils. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

02

Step
1 mins

Increase heat to high, add white wine, and let it sizzle and bubble for about 1 minute. This step intensifies the wine's flavor and adds depth to the stew.

03

Step
3 mins

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes to allow the wine to meld with the lentils.

04

Step
5 mins

Stir in carrots, celery, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, cabbage, tomato paste, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cumin. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.

05

Step
1 hrs

Cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until flavors are well blended and vegetables are tender, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Adjust seasoning to taste.

For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the onions, carrots, and celery in olive oil before adding them to the stew.
A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar at the end can brighten the flavors.
This stew freezes exceptionally well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.
Serve with crusty bread, a dollop of plain yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added appeal.

    I made this in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw everything in and let it cook on low for 6 hours.
