Lentils Primavera

Okay, so here's another non-recipe recipe. I've already posted my preferred method for cooking lentils here, so I'm not going to do it again. I've mentioned before how versatile lentils are, and this is just another of the many ways I like to use them.

Lentils Primavera

Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry lentils
2 cups liquid of choice (water, veggie stock, chicken stock)

olive oil
onion, diced
carrots, diced
zucchini, diced
squash, diced
snap peas, diced
tomatoes, fresh or canned, diced
preferred combination of spices/herbs: basil, herbes de provence, garlic powder, lemon pepper
splash of red wine vinegar
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
While the lentils are cooking, saute the veg and spices in olive oil until tender crisp, about 7-9 minutes. Once the lentils have absorbed most of the cooking liquid (about 30-40 minutes), add them to the sauteed vegs and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to your taste and there you go.

Enjoy!
