New Year's Lucky Lentil, Tomato & Greens Stew
Lentils are often linked with good fortune at New Year, and this stew takes that as a cheerful starting point rather than a promise. Green lentils, tomatoes and leafy greens make a steady, comforting pot after a late night. Lemon and herbs lift it so the first bowl of the year feels fresh.
