    Caribbean Stewed Lentils,This is one of my favourites from growing up in Trinidad. It’s a great vegetarian dish and very healthy, as it has high levels of proteins, is a good source of iron, and also contains dietary fiber, folate, and vitamin B1. It also freezes very well if made in large batches. I usually serve mine with rice.,This hearty lentil stew was savory and delicious. I am glad I doubled the recipe in order to stock my freezer.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    For Bagged Lentils, Follow the Preparation Listed on the Bag, Soaking If Necessary. If Using Dried Lentils, Make Sure to Sift Through Them Removing Any Debris and Then Soak in a Bowl With Water For a Few Hours or Overnight.

    2
    Done

    When the Lentils Are Prepped, Add Them to a Pot With Enough Water to Cover Them by About 2 Inches.

    3
    Done

    Add the Garlic Cloves (whole), Hot Pepper (whole), Salt, Black Pepper, Thyme and Bouillon to the Lentils and Water, and Heat to Medium-High Heat.

    4
    Done

    Bring This to a Boil, Then Cover and Reduce Heat to a Simmer For About 45 Minutes or Until the Lentils Are Tender.

    5
    Done

    in Another Pot, Heat the Oil at Medium Heat and Saute the Sliced Onions Until They Are Golden at the Edges.

    6
    Done

    Then Gently (were Adding Liquid to Hot Oil) Add the Cooked Lentils to the Pot (pour in Everything).

    7
    Done

    With a Whisk or Cooking Spoon, Stir to Break Down Some of the Lentils to Thicken the Consistency and Create More of a Sauce.

    8
    Done

    Add the Scallions, Cilantro and Butter and Stir.

    9
    Done

    Allow This to Cook For About 20 More Minutes or Until the Desired Consistency Is Reached. I Prefer Mine to Be Like a Thick Soup.

    Dont Forget to Fish Out the Twig from the Thyme Before Serving and Enjoy.
