Technique to learn

Layered Stew Reduction

Browning protein to develop pan dripping flavors, followed by cooking aromatics and simmer-braising legumes.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat and brown beef sausage slices for 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Step 2: In the remaining oil, sauté diced onion and minced garlic for 4 minutes until translucent.
Step 3: Add tomato paste and sweet paprika, stirring continuously for 2 minutes to toast the paste and spices.

Step 4: Pour in rinsed brown lentils, cubed butternut squash, browned sausage, and halal beef broth, stirring well.

Step 5: Bring to a boil, then cover and lower heat to gently simmer for 25 minutes until lentils and squash are tender.

Step 6: Season stew with salt to taste and let stand uncovered for 5 minutes before serving hot in bowls.

Cooking tips

Cut squash into uniform small cubes so it cooks at the exact same rate as the lentils.
A dash of lemon juice added right before serving brightens the rich savory flavors of the stew.
