Preparation
1
Make croutons and toast pepitas

  • Cut ciabatta into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add ciabatta pieces and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil 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, 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.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise and 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.
  • Peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces.

3
Start stew

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, 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. Season with salt. 

4
Simmer stew

  • Add lentils, broth concentrate and 2 1/4 cups (4 1/2 cups) water to the pot with veggies.
  • Season with salt and pepper. 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.)

5
Finish stew

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

6
Finish and serve

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