Frequently Asked Questions About Noodle-Free Lentil Stew
What is in Noodle-Free Lentil Stew?
Noodle-Free Lentil Stew typically combines lentils with onion, tomato paste, and vegetables such as carrots or potatoes. Recipes vary, but without noodles the lentils and vegetables provide the stew’s body and texture.
How do you make Noodle-Free Lentil Stew?
Cook rinsed lentils with sautéed onion, tomato paste, and chopped vegetables until tender. Add liquid gradually to reach a stew-like consistency, and season near the end. Green or brown lentils hold their shape better than red lentils.
Which lentils are best for Noodle-Free Lentil Stew?
Green or brown lentils are best for a chunky Noodle-Free Lentil Stew because they tend to keep their shape during cooking. Red lentils work too, but break down more readily and make the stew thicker and smoother.
What can you serve with Noodle-Free Lentil Stew?
Serve Noodle-Free Lentil Stew with a crisp salad, yogurt, or bread. Rice is also a common accompaniment, while pickles add a sharp contrast; because the stew is filling, a simple side is usually enough.
Can you freeze Noodle-Free Lentil Stew?
Yes, Noodle-Free Lentil Stew freezes well. Cool it, portion it into airtight freezer-safe containers, and thaw before reheating gently on the stove. Add a little water if it has thickened; potatoes may become softer after freezing.
How long does Noodle-Free Lentil Stew last in the fridge?
Noodle-Free 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, adding a splash of water if needed.
Can you make Noodle-Free Lentil Stew with canned lentils?
Yes, canned lentils can be used in Noodle-Free Lentil Stew. Drain and rinse them, then add them after the vegetables have softened and simmer just long enough for the flavors to combine, since canned lentils are already cooked.
Why is Noodle-Free Lentil Stew called karaşimşek?
Karaşimşek is a colloquial Turkish name associated with lentils, and Noodle-Free Lentil Stew refers to a lentil-and-vegetable stew made without erişte, or Turkish noodles. The name distinguishes this version from recipes that include noodles.
How can you thicken Noodle-Free Lentil Stew without noodles?
To thicken Noodle-Free Lentil Stew, mash some of the cooked lentils and vegetables against the side of the pot, then stir them back in. To thin it, add hot water a little at a time and simmer briefly.
Can Noodle-Free Lentil Stew be made in a slow cooker?
Yes, Noodle-Free Lentil Stew can be made in a slow cooker. Add rinsed lentils, vegetables, tomato paste, and liquid, then cook until the lentils are tender; add extra liquid if needed, since slow cookers lose less moisture than stovetop pots.

What is Noodle-Free Lentil Stew?
Noodle-Free Lentil Stew is a Turkish home-style pot of lentils and vegetables, cooked without the noodles sometimes added to karaşimşek. The lentils simmer until tender and give the broth a naturally thick, hearty texture; vegetables and seasoning bring a savoury, gently earthy flavour.
In Turkey, it is served as a filling lunch or dinner, often with bread and pickles. Elsewhere, it makes an easy one-pot meal, with crusty bread or a squeeze of lemon alongside. It offers plant protein and fibre, with 5 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter version, use less oil and add extra vegetables.
