Steps:
- 1. Heat oil over medium to medium high heat, then add onion, celery, and carrots. Stir often and cook until onion is translucent.
- 2. Add flour to the vegetables and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- 3. Combine beef broth or base with water, then slowly incorporate into vegetable mixture, stirring well to keep mixture from lumping.
- 4. Rinse lentils well in water, checking for rocks or other debris. Add lentils to pot and bring to boil. Simmer on low heat for 30-45 minutes depending on the age of the lentils. Make sure to check the pot often to ensure that liquid does not cook out of the lentils. Add liquid as needed.
- 5. When done, remove the pot from the heat and cover for 5-10 minutes. This helps the liquid absorb better into the lentils.
- 6. Add salt and pepper to taste. Apple cider or red wine vinegar may be added to lentils for a slightly tangy flavor.
