cimoreneThe other day I tried a stew recipe that I concluded was too spicy for my wife, and at the spicy end for me. The day after I tried a milder soup for her and then today I mixed the leftovers together for lunch, and found out that I liked that even better, so I'm going to try combining the recipes next time like this:
Vegan black bean, lentil and barley stew
a few Tbsp olive oil
½-1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic (2 tsp garlic powder)
1-2 small bell peppers
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
100 ml dry lentils
100 ml barley
about 700ml vegetable broth (scant 3 cups US)
1 tomato
about 250ml frozen spinach
(other vegetables cut up small if desired)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
A VERY few red pepper flakes (be careful!)
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ tsp thyme
Heat oil over medium heat. Sautee onions (and fresh garlic) until clear, then add chopped bell peppers and lentils and sautee another 2 minutes. Add beans, barley, broth, finely diced tomato, spinach and vegetables, thinning with water if it seems too thick. Add seasonings, vinegar, and salt as desired. When it comes to a boil, reduce to low and simmer for 30 minutes, checking periodically.
Eat with warm tortillas.

If you want people to come to dinner, you have to offer a gluten-free option. I'm allergic to cheese and milk, but I rarely get cheese-free options. Your recipe sounds good.

I get actually dairy-free stuff when it's available, like almond milk or soy creams, but I still use lactose-free cheeses (I've never been brave enough to go all out with a cheese soup or mac and cheese, but I do put it on pizza, and that's okay).
