Notes
Store- it in the fridge in an airtight container and it will keep well for 5 to 6 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little water to thin as needed.
Freezing- Freeze it in individual containers and it will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Stovetop instructions:
Saute the onions, carrots, and garlic in the olive oil for 6-9 minutes until soft. Add the baharat, salt, and pepper and stir continuously for 2 minutes to bring out all the flavors. Add the remaining ingredient tests and bring the stew to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the lentils are soft, about 30 minutes, stirring once or twice throughout.
