My roommates came home with about 5 lbs of greens the other day - swiss chard, kale, bok choy, salad greens, you name it. Holy moly, is the garden producing or what?
Our ever-busy lives caused the greens to start wilting in the fridge, so I decided to do something about it. That something was Curried Red Lentil and Swiss Chard Stew with Garbanzo Beans.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
5 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp cayenne (I quadrupled this because I love the heat)
3 14-oz cans of veggie broth
1 large bunch of swiss chard, chopped, with stalks and stems removed
1 pound red lentils
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
Plain yogurt (optional)
Directions:
Heat olive oil over medium heat in large saucepan. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add curry and cayenne, broth and chard. Bring to a boil. Add lentils and garbanzos and reduce heat. Simmer until lentils are tender (about 10-20 minutes). Serve and top with yogurt if desired.
I used the chard that we had, but this stew would be great with any other green you might have lying around your house begging to be eaten.
**After making this soup, I decided it would be even better with some chicken thrown in there. So if anybody tries this idea, let me know how it goes!
Yes, Please! Trying to not eat my screen... ;^)
