A hearty and flavorful stew combining lentils, kale, and aromatic spices for a comforting meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the cumin and black pepper, cooking for an additional minute to release the spices' aroma.
Toast the spices briefly to enhance their flavor.
Pour in the water and add the lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Skim off any foam that forms on the surface for a clearer broth.
Simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
Check the lentils occasionally to ensure they don't overcook.
Add the kale, parsley, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Cook until the kale is wilted, about 10 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or a side of couscous for a complete meal.
