Lentils With Anchovies, Capers, and a Fried Egg image

I LOVE lentils. I eat them at least once a week. I also love capers and anchovies, so I came up with this. Lentils also taste delicious with an egg on top- especially one with a runny yolk. Don't let the anchovies scare you, as they're just there to flavor the lentils and their strong flavor will dissipate as you cook.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
8 -12 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 1/2 cups brown lentils
3 cups vegetable stock or 3 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon butter
4 eggs

Steps:

  • Saute onion & garlic in olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Add celery, carrots, and anchovies, and saute for 2 minutes longer.
  • Add lentils and stir well. Add stock/water, bay leaf, capers, and cloves. Cover, lower heat, and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the lentils are tender.
  • Just before lentils are done, melt butter in a separate pan, then crack the eggs into it and cook until whites are firm and yolks are runny, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Once the lentils are done, add salt and pepper if you wish. Serve lentils with fried egg on top.
