Green Lentil, Vermicelli and Beef Stew brings together green lentils, pieces of beef and fine vermicelli in a savoury, gently thickened broth. It is a hearty Turkish-style home-cooked dish, with the lentils softening as they simmer while the beef adds a richer, meaty flavour.
Serve it hot as a main meal, often with bread, a crisp salad or a spoonful of yoghurt alongside. Lentils and beef make it a useful source of protein, while the lentils also contribute fibre; vermicelli adds a little more substance. For a lighter bowl, use less vermicelli and serve with extra vegetables.
