Lentil and rice stew is such an easy plant-based meal to put together. Lentils cook quickly without needing to be soaked first, and they’re naturally rich in plant-based protein, antioxidants, and fiber. This Middle Eastern–inspired version is deeply flavored, warming, and perfect for a cozy winter meal. It also makes a lovely vegan main dish for a holiday gathering, especially when you want something hearty, comforting, and nourishing at the center of the table.
