Notes ✨
French green lentils hold their shape beautifully and are ideal for this stew.
Simmer gently — slow heat develops depth without breaking down the lentils.
A splash of vinegar or lemon at the end brightens the stew and balances its earthiness.
Even better the next day, this stew welcomes leftovers and quiet reheating.
