Slow Cooker Lentil Vegetable Stew
Slow cooker lentil vegetable stew simmers brown or green lentils with vegetables six to seven hours—meatless fiber and protein without kidney bean lectin risk.
Slow cooker lentil vegetable stew combines brown or green lentils with carrots, spinach, and low-sodium broth on low six to seven hours—no soak needed for most lentils, unlike kidney beans. Stir once to prevent sticking.
Green lentils hold shape; red lentils dissolve into thicker stew. One and a half cups cooked stew delivers strong fiber and roughly eighteen grams plant protein.
