Simple Lentil Stew
I made this a lot when I lived in France All it takes is to simmer some basic ingredients. It goes well with bread and wine You can also serve it with brown rice.
You can also use panchetta or other cured meat instead of bacon (if it's quite salty, adjust the amount of salt.) I recommend using chopped block bacon instead of sliced... it gives a great texture! The lentils will become tender if stewed well. This stew is very healthy. Recipe by nene4

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the onions and carrots into 5 mm cubes, and chop the bacon into 1 cm cubes. Rinse the lentils in a colander.
- 2
Lightly sauté the minced garlic and bacon in a pot of olive oil.
- 3
Add the onions and carrots, and sauté until the onions become tender and translucent, taking care not to burn them.
- 4
Add the lentils and toss the ingredients together. Fill with enough water to cover up to 2 cm higher than the level of the beans, then add the bay leaf, 2-3 pinches of coarse salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.

Once it starts to boil, reduce to low heat, slightly shift the lid to make an opening, simmer for about 20 minutes. Fill with enough water to cover up to 2 cm higher than the level of the beans again, then simmer for 30-40 more minutes, then it's done Add a lot of water! It will cook into the soup ingredients and make them soft and fluffy.

[Lentils] These are the lentils I bought at a supermarket in Paris. They come in a cloth bag. Lentils are filled with nutrients, such as vitamin B and beta carotene.

[Note] Since this recipe makes a lot of soup, you can halve the recipe. For those who have a large pot, I recommend making a lot.

Chickpea Stew Chickpea Stew
Being a cook is being an artist —You can mix ingredients in your fridge or pantry and get creative results! I had some chickpea cans I wanted to use and I decided to make this vegetarian strew which turned out delicious ! I used vegetables I had in my fridge and you can too! You can substitute the green peppers for red/orange/ yellow or add any vegetables you already have like celery or carrots. The important thing is that you make it with love and you get creative while doing it.

Irish Lamb Stew Irish Lamb Stew
This recipe is from Hubby's paternal 'Nana' (grandmother). We spoke on the phone twice before Hubby and I were wed and off to Germany. She was pure Irish, lilting accent and all. She gave me this recipe on our second phone call. I was so grateful and asked what I could give her. Her answer, a great-granddaughter! All the great-grandkids were boys and she longed for a girl. Sadly she passed away while we were in Germany... and sadder still we only have a son. I wish we could have met... I bet she would have had endless stories to tell! This has become our traditional Samhain dinner and a remembrance of Nana. This recipe is very different from others, which have carrots and potatoes. I asked Nana about the missing root veggies and she stated that it is meant to be served with Colcannon, a mashed potato and cabbage or kale dish, so didn't need them.
