French Lentil Dinner

5/22/2021

 
This is our go-to cupboard dinner. Ingredients are basic, but the result is delicious. Green French lentils are best, but conventional lentils also work.
 
Ingredients
  • 1 small onion, peeled
  • 1 medium carrot, trimmed, peeled, and cut into 4 to 6 pieces
  • 1 celery stalk, trimmed, peeled, and cut into 4 to 6 pieces
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed, peeled, and germ removed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped, rinsed, and patted dry (optional)
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Grated parmesan for on top
 
Directions
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Add carrot, water, lentils, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer until lentils are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove bay leaf, adjust seasoning and serve.
