Lentil and Vegetable Stew

This is a delicious, filling, easily customizable recipe! I made it with red lentils which cooked faster, so I set them aside and then cooked the potato, etc. in water, then added the lentils back in with the zucchini. I used unpeeled red potatoes, and I substituted a splash of Worcestershire sauce for the bouillion. I also left out the salt, and added black pepper, cayenne pepper and turmeric. Yum, yum! Perfect for serving over brown rice.
