STEWED LENTILS & TOMATOES image

Categories     Bean

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons good olive oil
2 cups large-diced yellow onions (2 onions)
2 cups large-diced carrots (3 to 4 carrots)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 gloves)
1 (28-ounce) can whole plum tomatoes*
1 cup French green lentils (7 ounces)
2 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons mild curry powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher slat
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon god red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and the carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic and cook for one minute more. Meanwhile, place the canned plum tomatoes, including the juice, in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse several times until the tomatoes are coarsely chopped. Rinse and pick over the lentils to make sure there are no stones in the package. Add the tomatoes, lentils, chicken broth, curry powder, thyme, salt and pepper to the pan. Raise the heat to bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer covered for about 40 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Check occasionally to be sure the liquid is still simmering. Remove from the heat and allow the lentils to sit covered for another 10 minutes. Add the vinegar,season to taste and serve hot. * I got "quick-crushed," a rough puree that allowed me to skip the nuisance-y food processor step.

These lentils were a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to them to make them more flavorful.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The lentils are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. I like to serve it with rice or quinoa.

These lentils were good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, and the lentils were a little overcooked. However, I think with a few tweaks, this recipe could be really good.

I made these lentils last night and they were a hit! My family loved them. The recipe was easy to follow and the lentils were cooked to perfection. The sauce was also very flavorful.

These lentils were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The lentils were cooked through but still had a little bit of a bite to them, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I served them with rice and it was a perfe
