RECIPE BELOW! There’s just something about beef stew that always brought comfort to me… the warm and rounded flavor, the fact it was served on cooler days… I don’t know. Maybe it just reminds me of my childhood.

Anyway, I made a plant-based version in the instant pot this week for our meal prep. We loved it, and my mom did too!

Lentils are the star of the show (when are they not shining in the plant-based community?! So versatile and delish!). The olive oil give the dish the perfect added fat you need to really mimic the texture, and our corn starch slurry brings the gravy to perfection (gluten-free perfection, I might add!).

No video for the recipe, but my sweet daughter helped make every part of this that you see in the pictue! She got to peel carrots for the first time. Boy. You should have seen her proud smile!

Enjoy, friends! A plus tard!
