This is a great recipe for toddlers, especially if you are vegetarian or have a baby who is not fussed on eating meat. My grandson refuses to chew meat (now aged 19 mths) so we are always looking for ways to make sure he gets an adequate diet. These simple ingredients cook up easily and the recipe makes at least 10 servings and is good to freeze.

SERVES 10 , 10 serves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove
1 potato, large peeled and diced
2 carrots, scaped and diced
2 celery ribs, washed and diced. I peeled the outside strings off
225 g red lentils, washed
400 g canned tomatoes
10 ml tomato puree
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
600 ml vegetable stock

Directions

1
Heat oil and fry onions and garlic until softened but not browned.
2
Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and lentils. Stir to coat the vegetables with oil.
3
Add tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs and vegetable stock.
4
Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 40 - 45 minutes, or until the lentils and vegetables are very tender. You might need to add some water at this stage if the stew seems to be too thick.
5
Remove bay leaf.
6
Mash the lentils and vegetables.
7
Ready to serve.
8
Freeze in portions what is not going to be used within 2 -3 days.

I was looking forward to trying this recipe because I love lentils, but I wasn't expecting such a superbly flavorful broth. Your recipe must have just the right amount of each ingredient because the taste was more than delicious — a 10-star in my book. I didn't puree it since we have no "wee ones" here, and I loved the tasty bits of veggies in each bite. I served it with a bakery loaf of 5-grain bread and it made a lovely dinner. I'll be making this again and again. It's SO good. Thanks for sharing this, Kathy!

This was so hearty and easy! It's also a flexible recipe - you can use any veggies you have on hand. I followed the recipe pretty closely with one exception - the only tomatoes we had were Rotel original style, and it gave the dish a nice kick. I'll definitely be making this again!
