! C brown or green lentils (washed and picked over for any little stones (don't use your lentils de Puys on this dish))
-
2 medium carrots, peeled, split and diced
-
1 nice-sized zucchini (about 8 oz), split and cubed
-
2 Tbs finely chopped parsley
-
2 Tbs olive oil
-
1 Tbs sweet butter
-
1 tsp ground cumin
-
1 onion, diced
|
-
3 leeks (about 8oz) (white part mostly, washed well, then sliced)
-
1 stalk celery, diced (a stalk with leaves is fine!)
-
2 cloves garlic, crushed
-
2 lemons, juiced (seeds and pulp discarded)
-
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
-
sea salt & black pepper to taste
-
4 - 6 C vegetable broth (TIP: a little wiggle room here - the lentils will take up more liquid after the initial water soak, however, the vegetables will also release some liquid, especially after you add salt. The final dish should is a stew, not a soup, so you want to monitor the amount of liquid.)
