I use fresh spinach but frozen spinach will work too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomato paste: <\/strong>Tomato paste adds umami and a touch of sweetness. It also helps to thicken the stew a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diced tomatoes: <\/strong>I use canned diced tomatoes for convenience. You can also use crushed tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stock:<\/strong> A good-quality vegetable broth will add tons of flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spices and seasonings: <\/strong>Cumin adds a touch of warmth and earthiness. Thyme and bay for herby freshness and a squeeze of lemon at the end helps brighten everything up. Add salt to taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil: <\/strong>You\u2019ll need some oil to fry the onions. Olive oil is fine or any other neutral-flavored oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"Pouring vegetable stock over red lentils in a blue pot.\" class=\"wp-image-4847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-180x270.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring vegetable stock over red lentils in a blue pot.\" class=\"wp-image-4847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-2-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-red-lentil-stew\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make red lentil stew<\/h2>\n<p>This easy-to-make vegan red lentil stew is the perfect one-pot meal for when you\u2019re in need of a quick lunch or dinner!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prep<\/h3>\n<p>Start by prepping your veggies.

Rinsing also removes any dust or debris that may have accumulated on the lentils during the production and storage process.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731156184004\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How should lentils be when cooked?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For this red lentil stew recipes the lentils should be tender all the way through but not cooked so long that they begin to break down and become mushy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1731156199874\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are my red lentils mushy?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Red lentils will begin to break down and become mushy as a result of the cooking process. They work great for dal when cooked this way but for soups and stew where you want to maintain some structure to the lentils, remove them from the heat when they are tender all the way through but still maintain their shape. This is usually after 15 minutes of simmering.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"A ladleful of red lentil stew in a pot.\" class=\"wp-image-4852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-180x270.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6.jpg\" alt=\"A ladleful of red lentil stew in a pot.\" class=\"wp-image-4852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/red-lentil-stew-photo-6-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"make-ahead-and-storage-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make ahead and storage tips<\/h2>\n<p>This red lentils stew keeps well in the fridge and can be frozen, making it great for meal prep.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the stew to an airtight container and refrigerate for 4 to 5 days.<\/p>\n<p>To freeze, allow it to cool completely in the fridge before transferring it to the freezer.
