This hearty, savoury, one-pot stew is a meal in a bowl that would be welcome for dinner or as leftover for lunch the next day. Green lentils are a great choice for stews like this one since they keep a firm texture once they are cooked. You’ll need to cook them ahead of time—they take about 45 minutes to prepare. If you can find them, use French green lentils, also known as Le Puy green lentils. They are grown in the volcanic soil of the Auvergne region in France, which gives them a unique nutty flavour. Serve this stew with some crusty bread for a complete meal.
