A comforting, ultra-soft one-pot stew featuring earthy lentils and creamy potatoes, lightened up with fresh summer vegetables and a tangy yogurt swirl.

The Nutricook Soft Lentil, Potato & Pepper Stew is the ultimate comfort food for those seeking a healthy, diet-friendly meal that requires almost zero effort. This Nutricook Soft Lentil, Potato & Pepper Stew relies on the high-pressure environment of your multicooker to transform humble dry lentils and hardy root vegetables into a silky, spoonable delight. By using lentils as the base, you are getting a massive boost of plant-based protein and essential fiber, which keeps you full for longer while supporting digestive health. The addition of baby potatoes provides a creamy texture that thickens the stew naturally as they soften, while the bell peppers and baby marrow melt into the background, lending a subtle sweetness and a wealth of vitamins. Preparing a Nutricook Soft Lentil, Potato & Pepper Stew is ideal for a single-person portion because it minimizes waste and ensures that your most perishable items, like the peppers and zucchini, are used at their peak. This dish is naturally low in fat and can be adjusted with spices you have on hand, but the finishing dollop of Greek yogurt is what truly elevates it, providing a tangy contrast to the earthy lentils. Whether you are recovering from a long day or simply need a gentle, nutritious meal, this one-pot wonder delivers maximum flavor with minimal cleanup, making it a staple for healthy home cooking.

Ingredients

90 g Lentils (about ½ cup)
150 g Baby Potatoes (about 5-6 small potatoes)
1 count Bell Peppers (1 medium pepper, sliced)
1 count Baby Marrow (1 medium zucchini, diced)
350 ml Water (about 1½ cups)
2 tbsp Greek Yogurt
0.5 count Lemons (half a lemon for juice)

Instructions

1
Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
2
Slice the baby potatoes into halves so they soften quickly and evenly.
3
Place the lentils, baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and diced baby marrow into the Nutricook pot.
4
Pour in the water, ensuring all ingredients are mostly submerged. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
5
Secure the lid and set the Nutricook to 'Pressure Cook' on high for 15 minutes.
6
Once the timer is done, perform a quick pressure release. Open the lid and stir the mixture; the baby potatoes and lentils should be very soft and have created a thick consistency.
7
Squeeze the juice of the lemons over the stew and stir well.
8
Transfer to a bowl and top with a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.

Chef's Tips

•For an even softer texture, use the back of a spoon to lightly mash a few of the baby potatoes directly into the stew.
•If you have any dried spices like cumin or turmeric in your pantry, add a teaspoon before cooking for extra depth.
