Nothing better than a nice hearty stew for a gloomy day! Our friends Justin, and Kelly gave us some delicious home made jerk seitan! Its nice and spicy, but you can use any flavor seitan for this stew as you desire!
Ingredients:
1 Pound dried red lentils
1 Large onion, diced
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Carrot, diced
3 Stalks celery, diced
1/4 Cup olive oil
8 Cups veggie stock
1/4 Cup tomato paste
1 Tsp thyme
1 Tsp ground cumin
1 8 oz. Package of seitan, or 2 servings homemade
Optional:
Vegan parmesan cheese for serving!
First your going to take your lentils, and put them in a large heat-proof bowl and cover them with boiling water for 15 mins and drain.
While your waiting for the lentils, add your olive oil, diced onion, minced garlic, thyme and cumin to fairly sized stock pot. Saute for about 20 minutes, then add carrots and celery and saute for about 10 more minutes.
After all of your veggies are done sauteing, add the drained lentils and veggie stock and bring to a boil.
When the stew has reached a boil, simmer for about 1 hour.
Serve nice and hot with vegan parm sprinkled on top!
Enjoy! No more breaks! We promise :)
