Add a photoIf you can not find the awesome Umbrian Lentils, Puy lentils from France will work, But they won't be quite the same.
There would often be some smoky bacon in this dish, and maybe chicken stock, but this vegetarian version is delicious.
Serving size is about 8 oz.

Ингредиенты
- 1/2 large onion, finely diced
- 1 C finely diced fennel bulb
- 2 T extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large cloves of garlic, peeled and slightly crushed
- 1 1/2 cups lentils (Umbrian or Puy)
- 5 large fresh sage leaves, torn in half
- 2 pinches of fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste

Инструкции
- Pick over the lentils and discard any small stones.
- Rinse them very quickly in cool water and drain well.
- In a 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and fennel together in the olive oil until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
- Add the lentils and stir quickly to coat the lentils with oil.
- Add the remaining ingredients except oil for dressing.
- Bring the lentils to a simmer, then cover the pot and turn the burner down as low as possible
- Cook the lentils very slowly for 2 hours, checking occasionally and stirring very gently. If the liquid evaporates too quickly, refresh with a few tablespoons of boiling water.
- When lentils are tender remove the garlic cloves and the bay leaves and discard. There should still be a little liquid left among the lentils, but it should not be a soup. Discard excess water if necessary. Taste the lentils and adjust the seasonings.
- Serve them in a shallow bowl and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
- Serves four as a first course.
