@giovannisiracusaa: If You Eat Potatoes, You'll Never Die! "Cu mancia patati nun mori mai!" That's what my grandmother used to say! It's an old Sicilian saying, and you'd be surprised what you can make with just a few potatoes and lentils. This is a homestyle meal Italian families have been making for generations. Full of fiber, protein, and flavor! Lentils & Potatoes Recipe Ingredients: 1 cup (200g) green lentils, rinsed 1.5 lbs (680g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed 1 onion, chopped 2 carrots, chopped Fresh garlic 1 heaping tbsp tomato paste Extra virgin olive oil Salt & black pepper Fresh parsley Dried chili pepper Instructions: 1. Sauté onion, carrots, and garlic in olive oil until fragrant. 2. Add potatoes, lentils, and tomato paste. Stir and cook for a minute. 3. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough boiling water to cover everything. Cover and simmer on low for about 30 minutes, add more water if needed. 4. Mix chopped parsley, garlic, and chili pepper with olive oil. 5. Finish the lentils and potatoes with a drizzle of the garlic and parsley oil! #soup #italianfood #fyp

And can we talk about how lentils make EVERYTHING affordable, and are still full of protein AND fiber.

Bone broth instead of plain water would make it even healthier and add more flavor. Great recipe!!

I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious!! Only thing I did different was add the parsley (I only had dried) and chili pepper flakes while it was cooking and used leeks instead of onions because my DIL is allergic to regular onions. It was so good!!!

Add 1 bay leaf and a tiny bit of vinegar at the end! Trust me it’s fabulous. This is how we cook it in Hungary 🇭🇺🩵

My Syrian grandmother would make spinach, lentils, and potatoes dish. This seem so reminiscent of the dish.
