I found this on facebook and had to save it here, it was so good: https://www.facebook.com/Kochen.Backen.etc/photos/a.503481186479038.1073741890.153522344808259/503481003145723/?type=3&comment_id=503707329789757&reply_comment_id=504079989752491&offset=0&total_comments=18¬if_t=photo_reply I know the ingredient combination may sound odd, but the taste is delicious! You can just put the dried red lentils into the stew without precooking them, they will be done. I let the stew cook in the crock pot on high for 4 hours, but I think 5 hours might have been even better.
