Vegan Moroccan Spiced Stew

Who does not like hot tasteful pots when it's cold outside? It's probably the best thing about the winter, to cuddle with hot pots! Now, however, I find myself in the heat of Bali hehe .. but of course I still want to inspire people in colder destinations. Anyhow, I do not mind eating hot dishes in tropical heat!

This creamy lentil stew is Moroccan inspired and works super well with brown rice. And btw, do not forget to squeeze the lemon slice over the stew!
