Notes

To enhance the stew's flavor, consider toasting the cumin and cinnamon in the pot before adding the olive oil and other ingredients. This will release their aromatic oils and deepen the flavor profile of the dish. Additionally, if you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the lentils against the side of the pot before serving.
