Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups lentils, picked over and rinsed
1 can (15 oz, 425 g) chopped tomatoes with their liquid
2 cups (500 ml) water, vegetable, or chicken stock
2 onions, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 bay (laurel) leaves
1/2 tsp (2 ml) fennel seeds
1/2 tsp (2 ml) marjoram
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 carrots, chopped
1/2 lb (225 g) fresh green beans (haricots), cut into
1-inch (3 cm) pieces
3 Tbs (45 ml) chopped parsley
2 cups (500 ml) shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the lentils, tomatoes with their liquid, water, onions, and seasonings in a shallow 3- or 4-quart (3-4 L) baking dish. Mix well, cover tightly, and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 30 minutes. Stir in the carrots, green beans, and parsley and bake covered until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
