Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons Olive or vegetable oil
1 Onion, peeled and finely chopped
6 cloves Garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 Carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 1/4 cups French lentils
2 teaspoons Dried or fresh thyme
3 Bay leaves
1 tablespoons Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add oil. When hot, add chopped vegetables and saute until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add 6 cups water, lentils, thyme, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a fast simmer.
  • Simmer lentils until they are tender and have absorbed most of the water, 20 to 25 minutes. If necessary, drain any excess water after lentils have cooked. Serve immediately, or allow to cool and reheat later.
