Ingredients

  • 2 cups | 180g canned lentils, washed and rinsed
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.9 oz | 54g leek leaves, chopped
  • 7 oz | 200g tomatoes or canned tomatoes
  • 2 cups | 475ml water or low fodmap vegetable broth
  • 5.3 oz | 150g carrots, cut in chunks
  • 1/2 cup | 75g kale, chopped (big stems removed) OR collard greens

  • Add water, carrots, kale and pumpkin and bring to a boil in maximum heat. Season with salt and cumin.
  • Cover and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until carrots are soft.

Notes

Low FODMAP safe serving
  • Canned lentils (GOS) are low FODMAP, but I advise you to stick to 1/2 cup (46g) per meal. Recipe calls for four times more, but it serves 4 people, so it's safe.
  • Leek leaves (manitol) 1.9oz | 54g. Recipe calls for the same amount.
You can safely eat 1/4 of the stew.
