Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown lentils
  • 1 cup barley
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 7 1/2 cups water
  • 1 or 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 small sweet potato, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons miso
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Tarragon
  • Sage
  • Cumin

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain lentils, being sure to pick through them to make sure there are no stones. Rinse and drain quinoa. Add to slow cooker.
     
  2. Dice potatoes and sweet potato, and chop garlic. Add to slow cooker along with herbs (dried or fresh and finely chopped), tomato paste and 6 cups of the water.
     
  3. Cook on high for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. When the stew thickens and cooks down after about 2.5 hours add 1 additional cup water. Usually the lentils and quinoa will cook before the potatoes do, and potato cooking time will vary depending on how big the pieces are. Once everything is cooked, turn off the heat, add soy sauce and let set a further half hour.
     
  4. Mix the miso and remaining 1/2 cup of water, then add to the stew and mix well.
