Nutritional values

Lentils score with protein for healthy muscles and B vitamins for a powerful brain. 

This lentil stew can also be prepared vegan. Simply replace the cream with a vegetable alternative like soy cream and the butter with rapeseed oil. If quinces are not in season, you can also use apples, apricots or peaches.
