I will start by saying that I did not follow this recipe exactly. I used it as a place to jump off from. I know, I know... that is not what we are suppose to do. However, one night I was really craving the spices and lentils that come from this recipe and decided to make it even though I didn't have all the ingredients.
To start, I did not have potatoes so I made the recipe with only the lentils. From this point I actually made the entire recipe the way it said except instead of the peppers I used zucchini and carrots. Peppers do not go over well in this house (as much as I continue to try) but carrots and zucchini are favorites. I topped each bowl with the almonds and golden raisins. I served this stew with soft chewy Italian bread. It was a hit! There was enough that I froze the left overs and will have another meal some evening I haven't got time to make dinner!

I LOVE that you change it up!! I always feeling guilty doing that but it is exactly why I love this blog....saves me the trouble of experimenting and learn from others! I think I will add the zucchini next time too since it just doesnt seem to want to stop growing in our garden!!!
