Preparation

Step 1

1. COMBINE onion, carrot, garlic, and oil in medium saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
2. STIR in broth, lentils, oregano, and pepper flakes. Cover and bring almost to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
3. ADD broccoli. Cover and simmer until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in olives. Add more water, if necessary, to thin the stew to the desired consistency. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
