Recipe Introduction


This is not only low fat but also high in fiber and a vegetarian dish.


List of Ingredients




2 shallots, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tsp. olive oil
3 cups water
1 cup dry green lentils
1 red potato, peeled and finely diced
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, slivered
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
dry croutons or chopped chives

Recipe



In a large pot, sauté the shallots and onions in hot oil. Add the water and lentils, then and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, adding more water if needed
to keep the three-cup level of liquid. Cook lentils until barely tender. Add all the other vegetables and seasonings. Continue to cook for at least 20 minutes longer. Mash with a fork or puree the mixture.
Serve warm, garnished with croutons or chives.
