Two Bean Stew
-1 15.5 ounce can of lentils, drained (or 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils)
-1 15.5 ounce can of chick peas, drained (or 1 1/2 cups cooked chick peas)
-1 carrot, sliced
-2 celery stalks, diced
-1/2 can diced tomatoes
-1 potato, chopped
-1 large onion, chopped
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1/2 tsp. oregano
-1/2 tsp. cumin
-1/2 tsp. paprika
-1 tsp. garlic powder
-2 Tbsp. olive oil
-1/2 tsp. salt
-3 Tbsp. soy sauce
-2-4 cups of water (depending upon how thick and hearty you would like the stew)
-Pepper, to taste

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, garlic, onion, and potato. Add spices and salt. Stirring frequently, saute for 8-10 minutes until onions are tender. If vegetables begin to stick, add a few Tbsp. of water.

After 8-10 minutes, add beans, water, and tomatoes. Turn up heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for at least 15 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Remove from heat, and season to taste with pepper.

I'm going to try this recipe for the children (but take out the garlic powder, paprika and soya sauce). I've made similar recipes for them but not with these two beans together. Thanks.
