I like Lentil Stew because Lentils cook in about 30 minutes; whereas other types of peas and beans take much longer to cook;
Italian Sausage is very good addition to this as well! Thank you for the recipe!
This is a great dish. Added ham to it and two tablespoons of instant tapioca for thickening. And, I used 64oz of vegetable stock rather than 48oz just to thin it out a bit. Served it with some nice bread and white wine. And lots of leftovers!
I do a similar chicken soup with 3/4 cup each, lentils, barley, black eye peas, 1/2 chicken breast, and bay leaves or summer savory. Enjoy!
