Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 carrot roughly chopped1 medium onion roughly chopped2 1/2 cups dried Puy lentils (I wasn't able to find Puy lentils so used regular dried lentils and the dish was excellent)6 cups vegetable broth1 16 oz can whole tomatoes, drained and chopped1 cup dry white wine1/3 cup chopped flat leaf (Italian) parsley1 bay leafFresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions

In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and carrot and saute for 5-10 minues until the onion is translucent. Add the lentils and stir to coat with the oil. Add the broth, tomatoes, wine, parsley, bay leaf, and a good grinding of pepper. Leave to simmer over a low heat with the cover ajar until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 1 hour). Serve in shallow bowls with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of cilantro, and (essential!) half a lime for squeezing (not included in the nutritional breakdown). Serves 6.

This was great! I loved the lime, I even grated some lime zest into the pot while it simmered. - 10/6/10

Yum! I agree that the lime is essential - it really makes the dish. Also, I like my lentils a little softer, so next time I will simmer it longer. - 7/22/10
