Spiced red lentil stew with curry powder, colorful quinoa, and fresh veggies for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup tri-colored quinoa, rinsed and dried
1 cup dry red lentils, rinsed and drained
0.5 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
0.5 cup plain yogurt, or to taste
1 medium avocado, diced
3 stalks green onions, sliced

Instructions:

In a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat, shimmer oil and butter. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, quinoa, and lentils; ensure even coating. Sauté until onions are translucent, approximately 10 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Pour in the flavorful chicken broth and turn up the heat to medium-high to bring it to a satisfying boil. Cover and let it cook undisturbed for 10 minutes, giving it a gentle stir once or twice to enhance the flavors.
Uncover and mix in curry powder, cumin, and ginger until fully combined. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes. Taste and add more sea salt if desired.
Serve the cozy stew in bowls and top it off with a dollop of yogurt, slices of creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh green onion.
