Method

Place lentils in a fine mesh colander and rinse under cold running water to remove any dirt and debris. Discard any shriveled lentils and place them in a bowl filled with cold water for at least 2 hours.
Finely chop the onion. Peel the carrot and remove the stringy part of the celery, then finely chop both the carrot and the celery.
Heat a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and add the chopped onion, carrot and celery. Fry them off for a few minutes then add the drained lentils, so the flavours can mix together.
Add the Mutti Peeled Tomatoes and Tomato Concentrate to the pan, followed by the vegetable broth and add a sprinke of pepper. Bring to the boil, add two bay leaves and cook on a low heat for 45/60 minutes. (Check the cooking time of the lentils you are using, they must be cooked al dente)
Toast your bread and garnish your Lentil Stew with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of pepper.

THE HISTORY OF LENTILS STEW

Accordingly with the Italian tradition, probably dated back to ancient Romans, Lentils or Lenticchie, symbolize wealth and prosperity.

This dish is usually eaten during New Year’s Eve, just after midnight, as a good luck wish for the new year, and they’re traditionally paired with Zampone (pig’s trotter) or Cotechino (spiced pork sausage).

These legumes are not just a dish for big occasions, but a healthy food that can be enjoyed all year round. Thanks to their delicious taste and being high in proteins, fibers and other nutrients, they are perfect in soups, stews or side dishes, often flavored with a tasty tomato touch.

And to surprise your palate try them with smoked ingredients: it will be a perfect match!
