Coconut, Tomato and Lentil Stew Recipe (Vegan, GF)

SHARE

This Coconut, Tomato and Lentil Stew is one of our favourite weeknight meals to make in the colder months in Fall and Winter.

This stew is plant based, gluten free and dairy free. It’s made with easy-to-store pantry staples and veggies you can pick up anywhere! We love making our own homemade bone broth once per month, especially during the colder seasons. With the broth, we will make a few different warming dishes such as this Coconut, Tomato and Lentil Stew, miso ramen bowls and curries like this one. You can also use the following!

Healthy broths you can use:

  • homemade bone broth (chicken or beef)
  • homemade veggie broth (store leftover veggie scraps in the freezer then boil them into a broth at the end of the month and strain)
  • store-bought organic low sodium veggie broth
  • store-bought quality organic bone broth

Here is the best Coconut, Lentil and Tomato Stew recipe!

The best way to serve this stew is over short-grain brown rice with a handful of wilted spinach, tahini, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
