This Smoky Red Lentil Stew is a flavorful, healthy, simple dish that comes together quickly. Lentils are a good source of protein and fiber, and they can easily soak up a variety of seasonings. The smoked paprika gives this stew just the right kick, but be sure to adjust the amount of paprika if you have a very spicy version.

Garnish this stew with chopped cilantro, scallions, and/or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. If you have leftovers, freeze them in single-serve portions for a busy evening.
