Ingredients
-
1 Tbsp Olive oil (or Non-Hydrogenated Margarine)
1 medium Red Onion
4 cloves Fresh Garlic
2 large Carrots
4-5 stalks Celery
1 1/2 cups Dry Red Lentils
4 cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth (or 4 cups water plus 2 low sodium bouillon cubes)
Directions
Makes six 1 cup servings.
Peel onion and garlic.
Wash and dice onion, carrots, and celery.
Chop garlic.
Add oil to a 2 quart pot, and sautee onions and garlic about 5 minutes, until onions are translucent and garlic is golden brown.
Add carrots, celery, and broth (or water and bouillon cubes). Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until carrots are tender and lentils are soft.
Enjoy!
This is great on its own, but you can also eat it with whole wheat naan (Indian flat bread) or pita, pour it on top of brown basmati rice, or eat it as a side dish or as a midnight snack.
