WHB#70: Canadian Lentil-Stew

The Chocolate Lady from In Mol Araan is hosting this week Weekend Herb Blogging.

Last week some friends were visiting me. They brought me a Saucisson Vaudois (thanks again!). With this typical Swiss sausage I prepared a stew called Canadian Lentil-Stew. It’s very savory enriched with apple, sultanas, parsley and marjoram.

I love marjoram but only the green one. Dried it loses it’s typical flavor. Majoram is a cold-sensitve herb, as I live in Andalucia I can harvesting the whole year. Majoram helps to digest, that’s why you use it a lot in „heavy“ stews.

  1. Sieht gigantisch aus! Ich liiiieeebe Linsen. Das Rezept habe ich mir gleich kopiert und werde es demnächst ausprobieren. Danke!

  2. Great photo and it looks really delicious. I didn’t know that marjoram helps with digestion. I don’t think I’ve ever had it fresh. Maybe I’ll try planting some this summer, although it will have to be an annual here if it’s cold sensitive.
