A lovely bowl of puy lentil stew was exactly what I needed last week. It’s the kind of stew that warms your insides and makes you happy.

My stew is flavoured with all the umami flavours; balsamic, soy, vegan Worcester sauce and smoked paprika, which all add great depth.

My favourite way to eat my earthy stew is on a bed of super creamy hummus, as the contrasting textures are wonderful. I also recommend adding lots of fresh herbs like shredded mint and dill. Scoop up with some fresh bread–heaven!

Swaps/tips;
You can add in extra veg like mushrooms or aubergine–so good
A brilliant pasta or toast topper.
Add some plant-based cheese if you wish.
Great with added pulses like butter beans.
Great with tahini sauce on top.

I hope you enjoy, love Niki xx
