Green Lentils and Vegetables
A light work and tasty lentil recipe.
Ingredients
Directions
- Rinse the lentils, picking out anything that doesn't look like a lentil and place in a medium saucepan.
- Dice the carrot, celery and potato into 1/2" cubes. Coarsely chop the garlic. Add to saucepan along with bay leaf.
- Pour in cold water to cover lentil mixture (allow at least two inches over the top of the lentils). Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer covered until lentils are tender - about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Drain in colander. Place in a serving bowl. Dress with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Serve hot or warm.
- As an optional ingredient, crumble 4 oz goat cheese on top.
- Note: based on recipe from Florida Times Union.

Excellent base recipe for day-to-day meals. Easy to alter with different veggies, spices, etc. My carnivore wife loves lentils, and raved over this dish tonight. I added plain yogurt and feta cheese for hers, plus a nice garnish of cut onion greens and a slice of yellow pepper on top to dress it up. Lentils ain't flashy, lol. Also, recipe calls for draining the lentil/veggies. I did, but then reduced the remaining liquid, to concentrate the awesome flavors. Poured some of that on top of each dish, really picked it up!
