          Tip: Bumping Up The Protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          This hearty vegetable and potato stew is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients, and the lentils add a generous amount of plant-based protein! For an extra protein boost<\/strong>, consider adding a meat substitute like vegan sausages or smoked tofu.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Simply cut the tofu or sausages into cubes or slices, then pan-fry <\/strong>until golden brown and stir into thew stew for an added layer of savory, roasted flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          Do I need to soak the lentils first?<\/strong>

          That is not necessary. You should just rinse them well.<\/p> <\/div>

          I don't tolerate nuts. What can I use instead of cashews?<\/strong>

          You can either use a vegan cream substitute, e.g. soy-based, or - for a less creamy version - simply use a creamy plant-based drink, such as soy or pea milk or even coconut milk from a can.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
