Shopping List for 48 servings
~ 1 pint olive oil
~ small bag of cumin
~ 4 lbs. onion
~ 4 bags lentils
~ 2-3 heads garlic
Ingredients from grocery shopping. We ended up using 2 heads of garlic and used cayenne pepper and salt from our kitchen since the stew didn't call for much of either.
Used the Ninja to incrementally chop our 4 lbs. of onions.

Mise en place.
Cami and Nicole checking the onions post-roasting.

Nicole adding the salt to the finished stew. Two pots were needed to hold all the stew. After deliberating on the best way to divide the stew between 2 pots, we went with a 5:7 ratio of ingredients.
Does it taste good?
Yes, it's delicious!
Time for clean-up.
We poured the stew into smaller containers to facilitate faster cooling.
