When carrots are tender, allow to cool and puree them up with the liquid from your canned tomatos. and set aside.
Add the lentils to your pan as well as the tomato paste and your pureed carrots, as well as the wine.. Then add all your spices and liquid smoke, you can put some salt in there too if ya like. Cook it up til it smells yummy and gets thicker. You may need to add a splash for vegetable stock if it gets too thick.

~If you're asking why I included pureed carrots its because its thickens the sauce and sweetens it for very few calories, also works great for spaghetti sauce too!~
