Instructions
- Prepare Lentils: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Rinse the lentils thoroughly and cook them for about 30 minutes until tender. Drain them in a colander.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pan, and sauté onions, carrots, potatoes, and garlic until they are soft and fragrant.
- Add Spices and Tomatoes: Add tomato paste, black pepper, and sweet paprika to the sautéed vegetables. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and let it simmer.
- Combine and Cook: In a large pot, add a bit of olive oil, the cooked lentils, and the sautéed vegetables. Pour enough water or vegetable broth to cover the ingredients. Let the stew cook over low heat without a lid for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
