Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup dried green, brown or French Lentils (I used du Puy)
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cooked beets boiled or roasted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- 1 apple Honeycrisp or Russet
- 1 cup Sauerkraut optional
- goat cheese crumbled, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a heavy bottomed stovetop-to-oven pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Toss in minced garlic and thyme leaves. Cook for an additional minute, then pour in lentils and stock.
- Add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, grate the beets on the large side of a box grater and add to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- When the lentils have reached the boiling stage, remove from heat and place in the middle rack of the oven. Cook for 50-60 minutes, or until lentils are tender. There will still be a little liquid, but it will be absorbed.
- Remove braised lentils from the oven; stir in the salt and vinegar. TAste and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spoon into bowls. Top with grated or julienne apple, a spoonful of sauerkraut and a sprinkling of goat cheese. Enjoy at once.
