SPICY LENTIL & CHICKPEA STEW



Spicy Lentil & Chickpea Stew image

This recipe came to me from a friend who had worked at a health food store. I changed a few things until I found a version that my family loved. My son doesn't like things too spicy, so I make the stew milder for him and add a sprinkle of extra spice in mine. My husband, who farms, works outdoors for long hours at a time and finds this soup hearty enough to keep him satisfied. -Melanie MacFarlane, Bedeque, Prince Edward Island

CURRIED LENTIL AND CHICKPEA STEW



Curried Lentil and Chickpea Stew image

This recipe converted at least 3 people I know to curry, and many to lentils. Even my husband - who previously disliked lentils and curry - LOVES this recipe. Chunks of carrots and potatoes make this recipe hearty, while the lentils and Chickpeas give it plenty of fiber, nutrients and protein. Omit the Chickpeas if you're not a fan, or try it... you just might like it! This was my first vegan recipe.
