How you are today? I hope it's really very good, the cold days are still here in Buenos Aires and a classic to keep warm is mom's lentil stew ♥ but this time it was made by me. And modified a bit, of course, because there is always a healthier way to do it and taking advantage of what we already have at home.
Hola amigos de Foodies bee hive! ¿como se encuentran el dia de hoy? espero que realmente muy bien, siguen los dias frios aquí en Buenos Aires y un clasico para mantenerse calentito es el guiso de lentejas de mamá ♥ pero ésta vez hecho por mí. Y modificado un poco, por supuesto, porque siempre hay una manera mas saludable de realizarlo y aprovechando lo que ya tenemos en casa.
We are going to start by cutting onion, bell pepper and garlic into small pieces and we are going to sauté them with a little salt and oil in a covered pot.
Vamos a comenzar cortando cebolla, morron y ajo en trozos pequeños y vamos a saltearlos con un poco de sal y aceite en una olla tapada.
I had a little vacuum that I had baked in the oven that was left over and I am going to use that meat, since it has little fat and is super soft because it took many hours of cooking. So I cut it into medium pieces, and in the pot where the onions and bell peppers have already sweated I'm going to add it along with diced tomato and carrot in small pieces or grated.
Yo tenia un poco de vacio que habia hecho desgrasado al horno que sobró y voy a utilizar esa carne, ya que tiene poca materia grasa y está super suave porque tuvo muchas horas de coccion. Asi que corté en trozos medianos, y en la olla donde ya sudaron las cebollas y morrones lo voy a agregar junto con tomate cubeteado y zanahoria en trozos pequeños o rallada.
Approximately 20 min later, all the ingredients released their cooking juices, and that we are going to add a cup of tomato puree and 3 of water. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, ground chili and bay leaf.
Aproximadamente 20 min despues ya todos los ingredientes largaron sus jugos de coccion, y eso vamos a agregarle una taza de puré de tomate y 3 de agua. Condimentamos con sal, pimienta, pimenton, ají molido y laurel.
