INGREDIENTS
1 qt
vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
2 cups
purified water
1 1/2 cups
lentils, soaked and rinsed
3 tbsp
extra virgin olive oil
1
small yellow onion, finely chopped
2
celery ribs, finely chopped
1
large carrot, finely chopped or grated
3 cloves
garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp
ground cumin
1/2 tsp
dried oregano
1
bay leaf
1 tbsp
red wine vinegar (aged balsamic also works)
1 tsp
sea salt
1/2 tsp
course black pepper
Optional: 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped (or one 12 oz can
organic diced tomatoes)
Optional: Any greens you’d like to add; look for something in season and at a good price at the store. Spinach is always a great option and has a mild favor. You’ll need about one handful of washed greens per person.
