Green Lentil Stew Without Potato is a Turkish-style home-cooked stew of green lentils, usually simmered with onion, tomato paste, water and simple seasonings. It leaves out potato, with the lentils providing the substance and a pleasantly thick broth. Recipes vary from household to household, but the dish is familiar in Turkish home cooking.
The lentils soften while generally keeping their shape, and the broth is savoury, gently spiced and tomato-rich. In Turkey it is served as a simple lunch or dinner, often alongside rice, bread or pickles; elsewhere, it works just as well as a warming one-pot meal. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 5.5 g of fibre per 100 g. Use a modest amount of oil for a lighter version.
