Red Lentil Stew
Ew stew!
​
I've always hated stew. But this isn't your typical "stew" with the flavourless broth, mystery meat and overcooked veggies. This is a cool stew with personality and curry! More nutrients than that bland old stuff and none of the regret.
​
Try it with Sweet and Spicy Acorn Squash
or Roasted Chili Sweet Potato Chips
for a fiber and antioxidant boost to your menu.
