Winter lentils are full of vegetables, spices and flavor.

This protein packed legume is loaded with nutrients and fiber.

I like to make this thick, however, you can always add liquid to make it more soupy if you wish.
The white wine adds richness and depth of flavor.

Ingredients:

2 cups green lentils
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 shallot
4-6 cloves garlic
1 medium onion
1 red pepper
5-6 carrots
5-6 stalks celery
2 tsps ground sage
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups vegetable stock
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup white wine (optional)

Method

Chop and sautee the vegetables in the olive oil.

Add nuts and raisins and sage and white wine.

Add the lentils and vegetable stock and allow to simmer on low until the liquid is absorbed and the lentils and vegetables are tender.
