Tips

You can use any type of greens; chard, spinach, baby kale. Original recipe called for a couple of teaspoons of white wine vinegar when adding greens to "add a little brightness". I didn't have any, and it tasted fine.


Directions

Soak cashews for 2 hrs. Drain and place in blender with 1/2 cup water. Blend on high until creamy. Set aside.
In large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic, and salt. Saute until onion is softened, about 5 min.
Stir in carrots and celery, cook for another few minutes. Stir in cumin, thyme, and tumeric until combined.
Add diced tomatoes with juices, lentils, broth, and remaining water. Bring to low boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Stir in the cashew cream and greens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a couple of minutes over low heat until greens are wilted.
Stew will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days or freezes for 1 to 2 months. Stew will thicken in fridge or freezer; add broth or water to bring to desired consistency.
