Kezzie. I think you should introduce us to your granny. You always mention her. Maybe she can show us how to make one of your favourite dishes.

[@kezziannemiller5482]

I’ve been trying to convince her to come over but she isn’t a big fan of cameras. I’ll show her your comment and hope it helps 😂❤️

[@juskool3725]

Coconut milk does give it a nice flavour too

[@nishdebs1700]

My mother taught me that the sugar at the end is to cut the acidity in your tomato paste or Ketchup...

[@borat3455]

I love these vegetarian dishes, really warms my heart, looking forward to more of y’all

[@deidrarichards5801]

Tried this recipe last week. I usually dislike lentils but this recipe made it taste sooooo good!

[@karelphillips3483]

Yes, granny's stewed lentil, my favourite. Lost my granny six years ago. I remember her making stew beef and lentils with rice...😋

[@tcrucian68]

Added sugar like you did cuts the acidity you may have by the added veggies to the stew. It's a professional touch from the great chef's palate to balance the dish. Good job!

[@mariala4871]

The sugar is to neutralize or balance off the flavors after putting in all those different ingredients.

[@shalenaali9178]

Great recipe, I also added some onion, bandania, scotch bonnet pepper and thyme. How can this recipe be revised for weight watchers?

[@dalebaxter2228]
