Beetroot & Lentil Stew

Heyy Polina! So happy to hear the beet and lentil stew was a hit ☺️ and thanks so much for your question!

We’ve noted down the idea for a postpartum meal prep collection. In the meantime, our “Pregnancy fuel” and “Make-ahead mains” recipe collections might be helpful. You can find them by tapping “More collections” below the Curry Lovers collection on the home tab, and then searching “freezer.”

We also share some postpartum tips in our Pregnancy eBook, although this is separate from the app and available for purchase on our website. Hope this helps for now 🫶

Heyy Louise, thanks so much for trying the recipe and for taking the time to share this feedback! 😊 We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the flavour, especially if beetroot isn’t usually your thing!

We’re sorry to hear the stew ended up a bit too liquidy when scaling it up. In the app, the ingredient amounts scale proportionally, but the timers stay the same. With soups and stews, increasing the portion size often means the liquid needs a little more time to reduce. The size of the pot or pan can also make a difference in how much liquid evaporates during cooking. We used a fairly wide sauté pan with low sides, which allowed for lots of evaporation during the 15 minutes of simmering while the veggies cooked. If your pot is narrower and has higher sides, less liquid will evaporate, which can make the stew seem more liquidy. I hope this helps for now, and thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with it 💛

So happy that the stew was enjoyed, Gro! And many thanks for sharing your experience with it 🤗

Hii Atessa! Awe so glad you enjoyed it despite the beet taking longer than expected to cook! Beet can be surprisingly stubborn 😅 thanks for sharing the tweaks 🤗

I made this dish also with raw beetroot, added it for frying soon after carrots and it worked well. Really liked the recipe overall, simple and delicious 😊
