Heart healthy Lentil Stew

A easy meal that will keep you going day and night is lentil stew.

It's very easy to make, and you can frost the leftovers and have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Here's how I make it.

2 cups of lentils, 1 cup of rice, 6 cloves of garlic, 4 small red potatoes, One large onion, 1 head chopped broccoli, 2 teaspoons of salt, 10 cups of water.

In a large pot bring all of the above ingredients to a boil, turn to low and let simmer for an hour and a half. Stir occasionally to mix everything up so it cooks evenly.

Scoop the stew into small plastic packaging and you've got sufficient meals to last you at least a week.

I have read that lentils are high in protein, a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, are of special advantage in managing blood-sugar disorders, and help preclude heart disease and constipation, but that citizen who are prone to kidney stones may want to avoid them. For a detailed report on lentils, Google: Whfoods: lentils

Lentil stew is always there when you need it. Plainly take it out of the freezer, defrost a holder of it in your microwave for about fifteen minutes and you have a heart salutary nutritious meal.

Shredding a tiny sharp cheddar cheese over the top of it heightens the experience.

I can attest to the blood sugar phenomena. Since I've been eating my lentil stew my moods seem to have evened out a bit. I'm not quite as jagged.

I find that it goes especially well with a piece of Paul Newman's sweet dark chocolate, and a cup of strong homemade black coffee, or a glass of cold milk.

I estimation the cost of each serving of this stew at about twenty five cents (depending on the size of the serving).
