Moroccan Lentil Stew

I was surprised by how much I liked this. It may not look like much, but the combination of flavors was really good and it was, as most of the recipes I try are, super-easy. I think, however, that next time I will serve it over rice. It was quite a heavy stew and I think the rice would have lightened it up a bit.

This recipe is adapted from the Everyday Happy Herbivore book.
