I knew a month focusing on recipes would not be complete without this recipe, but I had other obligations on the other letter days, so Onion it is! Believe me, the onion is a small part of this dish.\u00a0 This is my friend Valerie Comer<\/a>‘s recipe, and I highly recommend you explore the other recipes in her “Healthy Recipe Box” wiki.\u00a0 Here’s the link to Beef and Lentil Stew<\/a>.\u00a0 The recipe says it serves six, and I’d offer those are generous serving sizes.<\/p>\n

Place in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat:<\/p>\n

1 pound lean ground beef<\/span>
\n1 medium-sized onion<\/span>, chopped<\/p>\n

Saute until beef is browned and the onion is translucent.<\/p>\n

Then add:<\/p>\n

2 medium-sized carrots<\/span>, thinly sliced
\n1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms<\/span>
\n2 cloves garlic<\/span>, grated
\n1 28-ounce can tomatoes<\/span> (about 4 cups)
\n1 tablespoon soy sauce<\/span>
\n2 teaspoons basil<\/span> (2 tablespoons fresh chopped)
\n1 teaspoon marjoram<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon chili powder<\/span>
\n1\/2 teaspoon cumin<\/span>
\n1\/2 teaspoon oregano<\/span> (2 teaspoons fresh chopped)<\/p>\n

Bring to a boil, then add:<\/p>\n

1 cup dry lentils<\/span><\/p>\n

Return to a boil; cover and lower heat and allow to simmer for about 40 minutes, until lentils and vegetables are tender. Be careful it doesn’t run dry; you may have to add a little water.<\/p>\n

For me, there were some unusual spices, but I bought them, and I haven’t regretted that decision — they really make this recipe. I haven’t asked Val, and I haven’t tried it myself, but this might be\u00a0 a candidate for a slow cooker recipe.\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
