Moroccan Lentil Stew

Moroccan Lentil Stew.

This recipe was inspired by the soup that's served at my favorite Moroccan restaurant.  It comes out as the first of 5 courses and is more of a soup than a stew. It contains lentils and garbanzo beans, in a thin tomato broth. It's so warm and flavorful, I look forward to it every time I go.

I created a thicker, heartier version. I'm not going to make a 5 course meal for dinner at home (can you imagine all the dishes!), so I wanted this recipe to be able to stand alone.

This lentil stew is full of lentils, garbanzo beans, celery, chunks of tomato, and spices, all in a tomato based broth. It's really filling and warming. Perfect for nights when the weather turns ugly and you need a little sunshine.

I love using the spice mixture Ras El Hanout.  It is the perfect balance of spices with just a little heat. It is a common ingredient in Moroccan recipes, so I like to make up my own to keep on hand. Though if making your own isn't your thing you can also buy it pre-mixed. Like this one from Amazon.
