Method

  1. 1

    Wash and dice carrots, peel and chop onion. Rinse lentils in a sieve with drinking water.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in the pot. Cook onion and carrots for 4 minutes, then briefly stir in cumin.

  3. 3

    Add lentils, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 18–20 minutes until lentils and carrots are tender. Stir regularly and add water if needed.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Galley tip

Red lentils need no soaking. For a thicker stew, simmer uncovered briefly at the end.

Do not cook in heavy seas. Secure the stove and pot, use drinking water and keep perishables refrigerated.
