Interesting to know

What was that actually like? When did I start eating a vegan diet? It’s been quite a few years now. Almost everyone knows lentil stew from earlier times. This was still made sweet and sour. Personally, I like this vegan way best without any additional sourness or sweetness. My stew is rounded off with a touch of cumin. This gives it that special flavor.
