I know, I know. A stew recipe just when the weather is starting to warm up. But I just got back from Tahoe where there was still plenty of snow on the ground, and it got me thinking about stew.

This amazing recipe is one I grew up with. My grandmother always made lentils for me, so I eventually began to associate them with “comfort food”. I loved them especially because they were always served with a bratwurst or some other German sausage.
