A lentil stew does not have to be a caloric dish. And here is the proof. Today's lentils are made without sausage and without meat and, even so, they are very tasty. They are some light lentils that also carry vegetables, although they are not seen.

They carry carrot, leek and potato. These ingredients, once cooked, we are going to crush them together with a slice of fried bread. We will obtain a kind of thick puree that will serve to thicken the stew.

Children like them a lot, even those who are more reluctant to eat vegetables because, in this case, they are neither visible nor noticeable.

Ingredients

450 g of lentils
1 Carrot
1 piece of leek
1 potatoes
2 Bay leaves
Water
1 slice of bread
A splash of olive oil
Sal Island
Peppers

Preparation

We put the water in a cocote or in a saucepan. When it is warm, add the lentils, the carrot, the leek, the potato and the bay leaves.
We cook, first over high heat and then over low heat. If we see foam coming out, we remove it. We will add water if we consider it necessary.
When the lentils are cooked, remove the potato, leek and carrot. Be careful, the bay leaves are NOT crushed so you don't have to remove them.
In a small saucepan, we put the oil. When it is hot, we fry the slice of bread, until it is golden.
Add the paprika and wait a minute, no more, so that the paprika does not burn. We put out the fire.
Put the carrot, potato, leek, bread and the oil from frying the bread in a food processor or in a small food processor.
Add a little salt and grind everything.
Add a ladle of lentils, with liquid.
We grind again.
We add this puree to the lentil stew.
Stir and let cook for a few minutes.
And we already have our lentils ready.
