This is a recipe that you need a lot of lead time for as it takes over 45 minutes to cook. However, it was worth it – not only was the dish yummy but it was very satisfying (must be all that protein). If you’re doing Weight Watchers, this recipe has only 3 POINTS because it’s full of fiber and has barely any fat.
Tomato-Curry Lentil Stew
Preparation time: 60 mins
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dry lentils- 1/2 cup water PLUS (I ended up using about 1 1/2 cups of water.)
- 2-1/2 oz. diced tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp. chopped yellow onion
- 1 celery stalk (I didn’t have celery in the house, so I substitued a half of a yellow bell pepper, diced. It worked out very well and added some nice color to the dish.)
- 1/8 tsp. curry powder
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash ground black pepper
Directions:
- Chop celery and mince garlic.
- Combine lentils and water, bring to a boil.
- Lower heat to simmer, add tomatoes, onion, and celery. Add 1/2 cup of hot water.
- Cover and let simmer 45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes to stir, and add water if necessary.
- Add spices last 15 minutes to taste.
- Taste and re-spice if necessary before serving.
Time Saving Tip: Make up a batch the night before (while you’re eating dinner and cleaning up, for example) and reheat the next day.

This is perfect for this time of year, isn’t it, when the snap of autumn means you want something warm and filling. And the fact that is has less calories doesn’t hurt!
Cheers!
