Ingredients | |||
2 | pound | leeks, well rinsed, sliced 1/2 inch thick, including some of the green part | |
2 | each | carrots, peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick | |
1/4 | cup | oil, olive | |
2 1/2 | cup | water | |

Directions: | |||
In a large saucepan toss the leek and carrot slices with the olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover the pan and simmer the mixture for 1 hour, until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. To keep the leek slices intact, do not stir. Serve hot. |
