A creamy, pressure-cooked lentil stew with soft vegetables and a tangy feta topping.

This Nutricook Red Lentil & Sweet Potato Stew with Feta is the ultimate comfort food for those seeking a healthy, soft-textured meal that doesn't compromise on flavor. By using your Nutricook multi-cooker, the red lentils and sweet potato break down into a creamy, porridge-like consistency that is incredibly easy to digest and soothing on the palate. The Nutricook Red Lentil & Sweet Potato Stew with Feta highlights the natural sweetness of the potatoes, which is perfectly balanced by the salty, tangy pop of feta with olives added at the very end. What makes this Nutricook Red Lentil & Sweet Potato Stew with Feta a standout recipe is its efficiency. It uses your highly perishable baby marrow and baby spinach, ensuring nothing goes to waste while packing the dish with essential vitamins. The red lentils provide a fantastic plant-based protein source, while the sweet potato offers slow-releasing carbohydrates to keep you satisfied. Because we are making a single portion in one pot, cleanup is virtually nonexistent. The high pressure of the Nutricook ensures the vegetables reach that 'melt-in-your-mouth' state in just minutes, making it ideal for a quick lunch or a restorative dinner. If you prefer a bit of heat, you can easily stir in some of your green chilies or red Thai curry paste before sealing the lid, though the recipe as written is mild and anti-inflammatory.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup Red Lentils
  • 100 g Sweet Potato (about 1/2 medium potato, diced)
  • 1 medium Baby Marrow
  • 350 ml Water (about 1.5 cups)
  • 30 g Baby Spinach (1 large handful)
  • 2 tbsp Feta With Olives
  • 1 tsp Lemon

Instructions

  1. 1
    Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 1cm cubes. Slice the baby marrow into thin rounds.
  2. 2
    Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. 3
    Place the red lentils, sweet potato, and baby marrow into the Nutricook pot.
  4. 4
    Pour in the water (or use broth if you have it) until the red lentils are just submerged.
  5. 5
    Close the lid and set the Nutricook to 'Pressure Cook' on high for 6 minutes.
  6. 6
    Once the timer ends, perform a quick pressure release. Carefully open the lid.
  7. 7
    Stir in the baby spinach; the residual heat will wilt it in seconds. If the stew is too thick, add a splash of water or milk.
  8. 8
    Squeeze in a few drops of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  9. 9
    Transfer to a bowl and top with the crumbled feta with olives.

Chef's Tips

  • For extra creaminess, replace 100ml of the water with coconut milk or lactose-free milk.
  • If you like it spicy, add 1/2 tsp of red Thai curry paste before pressure cooking.
  • The longer it sits, the more the lentils will absorb liquid, so eat it immediately for the best soft texture.
