  • 🍲• 1 large onion, chopped
  • 🍲• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 🍲• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 🍲• 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 🍲• 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 🍲• 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 🍲• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 🍲• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 🍲• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 🍲• 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 🍲• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 🍲• Juice of 1 lemon
  • 🍲• Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Step 1: In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed lentils, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
  2. Step 2: While the lentils cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Step 3: Stir in minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 30 seconds to release their fragrant aroma.
  4. Step 4: Add sliced bell pepper, broccoli, and shredded carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Incorporate the cooked lentils into the vegetable mixture. Add soy sauce or tamari, and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
  6. Step 6: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the stir-fry, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
  7. Step 7: Serve hot, ideally over brown rice or quinoa for a complete, healthy meal.
