Curried Lentil, Squash, and Apple Stew image

From the New York Times Well Blog ... Thanksgiving recipes for 2011. I tweaked this recipe quite a bit, based on ingredients I had in the house at the time. I'm reproducing the recipe, but noting my tweaks.

Categories     Stew

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup lentils
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups butternut squash (peeled, diced in 1/2-inch pieces)
1 apple (unpeeled, diced)
5 ounces spinach

Steps:

  • Tweaks: (a) Instead of the onion and carrot, I used 1 package of Trader Joe's mirepoix mix (pre-minced onion, celery and carrot). (b) I used Penzey's sweet curry powder). (c) Instead of real vegetable broth, I used Penzey's vegetable soup base. (d) Instead of butternut squash, I used a package of Trader Joe's diced sweet potato. I added the sweet potato when I added the lentils, letting it cook for nearly an hour. (e) Finally, because we're not vegans, I added two links of Trader Joe's hot Italian turkey sausage (diced).
  • In large pot, heat oil; add onion and carrot and saute until softened.
  • Add garlic, ginger, curry powder and salt; saute a few more minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Add lentils, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes.
  • Stir in squash and apple. Simmer, covered, for another 25 minutes, or until softened.
  • When stew is ready, add spinach and stir until wilted.
  • Add salt to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this stew. The curry and apples helped to balance out the flavor of the lentils.
