Roasted Garlic Vegetable Stew with Red Lentils and Tomatoes

It was pretty good, but only because I amended the recipe as it appeared bland once I got into the cooking of it. I'm not sure what world lentils cook in 10 minutes so they were pretty crunchy even though I did them for much longer than it asked for.

I really like this one, gooooood stuff!

It was okay, very healthy, but I won't make it again

Really really delicious!!! Will def make again!

Made loads, and it tastes great.

Maybe add a little more tomato. Idk. Depends on my mood.

Added carrot and cayenne pepper.

What a flavorful and fulfilling vegetable dish!! Glad the recipe made so much of it.

Delicious! We used baby spinach instead of kale. This was very flavorful and hit the spot!

Weird texture. No flavor as written.

It's okay, but not worth it considering the effort/result ratio.

Excellent.

I didn't have a can of fire roasted tomatoes available, so I swapped out for a (drained) jar of slow roasted tomatoes, a can of plain tinned tomatoes, and a generous amount of smoked paprika. Really enjoyed it, and it made plenty! I didn't find it too complicated to make either. It goes lovely with some crusty bread / garlic bread. Filling and hearty, would definitely suit having some chilli in it or hot sauce as well for a kick! It's on the sweeter side, so I did personally add a little bit of salt at the end, too, to balance that out, but it's not necessarily needed. Will definitely make again, especially if I have a few to feed 😊

This is a great recipe. Rich and filling. Great flavor. Combines lots of vegetables.

It was a bit on the complicated side but I was able to make it across 3 different days. Overall it was filling but it was on the sweeter side.

Added red chili pepper flakes for some more kick

This was great with bread. I was craving a tomato soup, and this hit the spot in a heartier way. I doubled the recipe to fill my Dutch oven (but didn't quite double the broth to keep it thick). I would definitely make this again.

Can't go wrong with that much garlic! Definitely better fresh than leftovers though

Ooooh this was sooo good! But also quick and easy. I didn't have red lentils so I used brown. I should have cooked them longer. And I think I'll be less shy about sweet potatoes but as is it was soo good!!

It turned into a thick paste, and we added about twice the amount of water during the cooking process to help with that problem.

Soooo good! I added some calabrese sausage and I roasted kale in the oven as a crispy garnish. We had it with pita bites.

I didn't think it had too many steps and it was a hearty and tasty outcome!

Fait avec pita grillé, Émilie aurait aimée ajouter haloumi

Will not make again. Too many steps and i couldnt get anyone to eat it.

Really really good and deliciously well balanced. Made half but kept the whole bulb of garlic and a little more vegatble stock ( used 2 cubes instead of 1 1/2) served with bread but it didn't need it. Used around 70 g of kale but would add more next time.

I halved the recipe, but didn't change anything. It's very delicious as it is :]]

Not bad but too many stages of the recipe and effort for the result.

This was amazing, my only suggestion is do not try and halve the recipe - the vegetable quantities don't work out when you do.

I accidentally used kidney beans instead of lentils, but it was so tasty. I blended it up instead and it went so good with some bread

Like a lot of other comments I thought it was a tad bland so I added some anchovy paste for umami and finished it with some fresh lemon juice once plated.

I used an immersion blender and it worked great.

A possible go-to but need to amp up the flavour - maybe some chilli next time.

Pretty good, just needs a bit more seasoning! I ended up adding like 4 cups of spinach about to turn and serving with homemade nut parm. Easy, tasty, and healthy to boot. 👍

delicious. would switch kale for spinach but that’s just a personal preference.

Amazibg flavour

- Just use 4-6 cloves of minced fresh garlic garlic at the stage where you cook the onion; no need for the roasted head of garlic. - 2 tablespoons of tomato paste is plenty - Remember US tablespoon is 15ml - Just eyeball the kale, 6 cups too much - Add 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes - Green capsicum also fine, just don’t blend it

I loved this as is. (Forgot the vinegar and tomato paste, though. Might be better and more appealing to hubs with some sausage or beef in it next time

I used brown lentils spinach and zucchini instead of red lentils kale and cauliflower. Added cherry tomatoes and a little chili pepper. Left out vinegar. Used tbsp smoked paprika and regular tomatoes.

This was really good, I'll make it again. The consistency was a little mushy to me, so next time I'll put fewer of the veggies in the blender.

Forgot the kale but it was still delicious! Went very well with homemade French bread 😋

Easy and delicious. I added some chilli flakes for some spice.

Won't be in my rotation but it was good

This was great with bread. Thanks

I didn't use a food processor but diced the oven vegetables finer than recommended. The result was delicious, since the oven vegetables were very soft and tender

It was nice, but tasted too sweet and rich, needed salt. Made again and added some salt which was much better. Rather than bread, I made tri-coloured quinoa as a side dish. Lovely.

Really great!! Made 1/2 the recipe and added some chili flakes and smoked paprika. Used food processor to puree everything. Used 1/2 portion of baby bok choy instead of kale.

Very easy, loved squeezing the garlic gloves out. The taste is brilliant, very filling, and hearty. Can be blended down to make soup.

Personally, I thought there was too much going on flavour-wise for me to enjoy it. There was no soup or liquid either.

Even my 5 year old, who normally does not eat lentils, ate this. The crusty bread for dipping helped. Might make a few tweaks next time. Needed more acidity and salt.

Made half the amount, but with all of the garlic and a bit of leftover celery chucked in with the onion and added a couple of red chillies. Served with cheese on toast. Feeling a bit under the weather, so this hit of veg was the tasty goodness we needed! Really good.

Not sure how well it freezes so I’ll make 1/2 the recipe next time. Don’t love garlic so I only use 1/3 of a head. Dice small or blend 2/3 of the soup and veggies Can add red wine or extra balsamic vinegar 2 jalapeños or a Serrano pepper is a good add for 8 servings. Definitely eat with a nice loaf of bread!

Added garlic salt, black pepper, sirracha. Doubled garlic instructions. Don't forget toasted baguette!

Added fresh oregano and basil. Topped with Parmesan cheese. Amazing!

Good texture. Needs more flavour / spices as very tomato-dominant. Added 5 cups water + 1 stock cube. Didn't use cauliflower.

First time trying this, very easy and sooo delicious. Plus, super healthy:)

I added smoked paprika and BAM so so good

This was delicious!! The recipe was easy to follow and everything came out good. I added in some russet potatoes for mine.

Great stew for a cool rainy summer day! This would be good on a cold winter day and I'm looking forward to making it this winter. It was really good with some feta cheese sprinkled on top.

VERY GOOD,i added only 2 cups of kale. my mother is extremely picky and she enjoys it but she took the kale out because it upsets her stomach. It’s a messy recipe honestly though but it’s worth it.

Makes a lot of leftovers!

Good, but not great. But, it does make for easy leftovers that can be frozen and reheated

Blending the veg is essential, improves the flavour and texture so much

Reduce the amount of sweet potato, add mushroom or other earthy element for balance.

Absolutely delicious. Had my 13 year old make it for us and, with only a bit of help with stick blender as they hadn't used it before and chopping up veg to speed up the process, made a delicious stew that the whole family (even dad who detests cauliflower) said they'd eat again. And ate 2cnds. Serve with some kind of roll or buttered bread

Usually I’m not a fan of veggie soups but this one has great flavor! Will definitely make again - but will likely halve the recipe.

Takes about an hour and a half, but worth it! Had to put the stew on a bed of kale because the pot was full. Will halve the recipe next time.

Skipped the whole roasting thing and just chucked everything in a big pot, added some extra salt a'd more of the herbs. Came out great with some bread!

Added some lemon

Served with bread, added meatballs, healthy, could add more spices

Perfect lunch with lots of left overs for the week. Creamy and comforting. I followed the recipe exactly. I love the garlic taste !

I skipped the “blending” bit and just kind of did a one pot deal + roasting sweet potato (no cauliflower). It was very tasty, added a bit of sugar l, spinach instead of kale.

Taste so much better than it looks 😂! Added sundried tomatoes and it was delicious!! Loved the roasted garlic, mashed with some of the sweet potato and cauliflower (roasted). I didn’t have bell peppers but it still came out amazing 👍🏽☺️

Very easy. Flavours develop if make one or two days ahead and refrigerate. A satisfying complete meal served with mature cheddar. Definitely better texture if omit blender step

I feel like losing my time with this recipe. So much ingredients and it only tastes tomatoes :s.

Only 3 cups of vegetable broth needed

Mmmmm! Smashing winter warmer. Very very tasty!!!

Delicious. I added broccoli to the roasting veg. It was a really good addition to the other sweeter, elements. Kept it chunky and added lots of fresh ground black pepper. Very filling.

So worth it and great for adding your own favorite garnishment. After the first few bites, added some feta cheese, mixed nuts and chilli powder. Will be one of our go-to dishes for fall and winter season. Especially great for large groups since you can easily double the amounts .

Wonderful veggie soup. Roasting adds great depth. I would probably double the amount of roasted garlic and replace the other garlic in the base. I'm a big fan of garlic and it just didn't come through like I expected.

Half-blended with immersion blender. Great for a chilly first day of fall!

Really good! Rich, hearty, filling. Just lovely. Swapped the kale out for spinach, blended as per recipe. Definitely one to repeat.

Left out the kale as I'm not keen on it. Didn't bother with blending and enjoyed it chunky. This recipe was full of taste and made plenty.

Really good, and worth the effort. The second night we ate it I blended the whole batch with an immersion blender. I preferred that texture.

Would substitute kale for a different leafy green

Delicious, the bread made it taste even better!

This was good for such common ingredients! The roasted garlic is probably the biggest contributor to such enhanced taste. Like someone else mentioned this makes A LOT! So cut it by half if you don’t want too many left overs.

Yum! I did blend as recipe stated and I think it definitely adds to texture and body of the stew. Very good.

Very filling made it for 3 and had half of it leftover.

This is very tasty. I did blend it and I think it adds a nice creaminess. Makes a good left-over. Taste even better Will do again for sure.

Very nice, I'll be making it again. I didn't blend, I agree with the other notes that blending is def not needed.

This was good, made a ton of leftovers. Would go really well with grilled cheese! It reminded me a lot of vegetable soup I had as a kid (made by a very experienced grandmother) without the time requirement. I did not blend and wouldn’t bother to if I make again in the future.

Blend it. Or don't.

Really flavoursome, will definitely make again. Didn't blend it and it didn't need it, so saved on washing up!

Really nice and rich. Didn’t blend the veggies because it seemed unnecessary and tasted lovely either way. Added some homemade pesto and sourdough on the side and it was a lovely warming winter stew.

The stew was great and had a great texture. I added parmesan rind (always great in stews like this) and skipped the blending part clompletely. Seemed like an unnecessary hassle.
