Cook onion and your chosen vegetables with a small amount of oil, then add rinsed green lentils, seasoning and enough water or stock to cover. Simmer until the lentils are tender, adding quick-cooking vegetables later so they keep their texture.
No, green lentils do not have to be soaked before making low-oil vegetable green lentil stew. Rinse them and cook them directly; soaking can shorten cooking time, but the lentils may soften sooner, so check them as they simmer.
Yes, drained and rinsed canned green lentils work in low-oil vegetable green lentil stew. Add them after the vegetables have softened and simmer only long enough to heat through, or they may break apart.
Simmer low-oil vegetable green lentil stew gently and stop cooking as soon as the lentils are tender. Add potatoes and other quick-cooking vegetables later, and stir gently rather than frequently to help the lentils hold their shape.
You can soften the onion with a splash of water or stock instead of oil when making low-oil vegetable green lentil stew. Add more liquid a little at a time as it cooks, and use herbs, spices or tomato paste for flavor.
To thicken low-oil vegetable green lentil stew, mash a few cooked lentils and vegetables against the side of the pot, then stir them back in. Letting the stew simmer uncovered briefly also reduces excess liquid.
Whole green lentils are a good choice for low-oil vegetable green lentil stew because they tend to keep their shape during simmering. Red lentils soften much faster and create a smoother, thicker dish rather than the same chunky stew.
Serve low-oil vegetable green lentil stew with crusty bread, rice or a grain such as bulgur, plus a fresh salad. The stew can also stand alone as a meal; a squeeze of lemon just before serving brightens its earthy flavor.
Yes, low-oil vegetable green lentil stew freezes well in individual portions. Cool it promptly, freeze it in airtight containers, and thaw it in the refrigerator; vegetables such as potatoes may be softer after thawing, so stir gently while reheating.
Low-oil vegetable green lentil stew keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after it cools, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is hot throughout.

Low-oil vegetable green lentil stew is a home-style, one-pot dish of green lentils simmered with vegetables, often with an onion and tomato-based seasoning. The lentils turn tender while usually keeping their shape, giving the stew a pleasantly hearty texture; the exact vegetables and spices vary from kitchen to kitchen.
It works as a warming main meal, served with bread or rice, and leftovers are easy to reheat for lunch. Lentils make it a good source of plant protein and fibre, with 6 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter plate, pair a serving with a crisp salad, or add extra vegetables without increasing the oil.
