Cooking Steps

Make croutons and toast pepitas
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 375ËšF. Wash and dry all produce. Cut ciabatta into 1-inch pieces. Add ciabatta and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Toast in the top of the oven, stirring halfway through, until croutons are golden-brown, 14-16 min. At the halfway mark, add pepitas to the baking sheet. Toast pepitas and croutons for the remainder of the cook time until golden.

Prep
2

Meanwhile, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Peel, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces.

Start stew
3

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften slightly, 2-3 min. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, Moroccan Spice Blend and curry paste. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.

Simmer stew
4

Add lentils, broth concentrates and 2 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pot with veggies. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, add apples. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and apples are soft, 8-10 min. (TIP: If you prefer a thinner stew, add water until stew reaches desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker stew, continue cooking with the lid off.)

Finish stew
5

Add spinach, then stir until wilted 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Finish and serve
6

Divide stew between bowls. Sprinkle with cilantro and pepitas, then top with croutons.
