Green lentil stew with potatoes, carrots and onions is a homestyle dish of green lentils simmered with diced vegetables until tender. The lentils give it a pleasantly substantial texture, while the carrots and onions add gentle sweetness; seasoning and thickness vary from kitchen to kitchen. It is a familiar kind of everyday stew in Turkish and other Mediterranean-influenced home cooking.
Serve it warm for lunch or dinner, with bread, rice or a simple salad; a squeeze of lemon brightens the earthy lentils. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 5.4 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter-feeling meal, keep added oil modest and round it out with fresh herbs or crisp vegetables.
