Ingredients

Execution Steps

  1. 1

    Combine the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, garlic, and dried rosemary in the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Stir well to distribute the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours (or HIGH for 3 hours) until the lentils are completely soft and the stew is thick.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

Lentils absorb twice their weight in liquid during slow cooking. Simmering them alongside acidic tomatoes and root vegetables allows the starch to thicken the broth naturally without flour. A solid, nutrient-rich calculation.
