Recipe Description
This Moroccan Lentil Stew offers a hearty, plant-based dinner option that’s perfect for any night of the week. It melds the rich, aromatic flavors typical of North African cuisine—like cumin, coriander, and cinnamon—with the nutritional powerhouse of lentils and vegetables. Every spoonful brings a comforting warmth, making it a delightful dish during colder months, yet it’s light enough to enjoy year-round. Carrots, tomatoes, and spinach are simmered with lentils in a broth infused with garlic, ginger, and a hint of harissa for a little kick. The result is a colorful, inviting stew that’s not only satisfying but also packed with proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It’s a testament to the fact that vegan meals can be as nutritious as they are flavorful.
