Cumin-Scented Lentil Stew
This nourishing, delicately flavored soup is in my regular rotation. On the surface, it’s just your typical lentils dressed up with roasted cumin, tomato, preserved lemon and your favorite leafy green, but the combination of delicate flavors with just enough acid to balance the rich lentils comes together as something far greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, it’s super economical, nutrient dense and satisfying!
Lentils provide protein and are a great source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Regular consumption is associated with microbiome diversity (this is a good thing!). Soluble fiber helps feed good gut bacteria while the insoluble fiber improves elimination of toxins and promotes bowel regularity.
To top it all off, compounds in tomatoes (lycopene), lemons (limonine), onions & garlic (organosulphurs and flavanols) and Silverbeet/Chard (iron and antioxidants) support healthy cellular integrity and lower inflammation and oxidative stress. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well it’s not, and this is just one example of easy, wholesome, home-made meals that are delicious and healing.
