List of Ingredients




1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 med onions, chopped fine
2 small stalks celery, chopped finely
*at least* 2 cloves garlic
large carrot, coarsely grated
4 sm/med potatoes, cubed small
3 cups French (or any) lentils, rinsed
3 T tomato paste
1 T vegetable boullion (powdered, like Seitenbacher, Vegex, Vogue, etc ...)
2 tsp. savory (ground, dried) or 2-3 T fresh savory
2 bay leaves
salt/pepper to taste

Recipe



Saute onions in olive oil 5 minutes. Add celery, saute a few minutes; add garlic, saute a few minutes more. Add coarsely grated carrot, cubed potatoes, rinsed lentils, tomato paste, veg powder, savory and bay leaves to pressure cooker - fill with water to cover plus 1 inch.
Bring to low pressure, cook for 10 minutes.
Quick-release pressure and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves.
Add water if you like it looser.

Serve with warm, crusty French bread (freshly ground and baked whole wheat is wonderful!)
