Chilean Lentil Stew with Salsa Verde

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This healthy vegetarian recipe is hearty and satisfying. Don't skip the parsley relish (salsa verde)--it's easy to make and lends a tangy accent that balances the flavors of the lentil stew. We prefer French green lentils for this stew, as they don't fall apart while cooking; however, regular brown lentils (found in most supermarkets) will also work.Ā Source: Diabetic Living Magazine, Fall 2019
