Carrots and Lentils

October 2, 2009 by Monica Nelson 19 Comments

This meal is very Mediterranean and delicious! I seem to always have a ton of carrots, that is how this started.  This is so healthy and easy to put together. Talk about affordable too, a bag of lentils will last you forever.  I pair this with a nice salad and call it Meal time! This meal is hearty and filling, enjoy!

Serves 4

3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups thinly slices onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbs tomato paste
1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb carrots, halved and thinly sliced, about 3 cups
3/4 tsp sea salt, divided
3 cups water
1 cup uncooked dried lentils
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
Fresh Dill for toppings


1.Heat oil in a large sauce pan over med-high heat. Add onions, cook until lightly browned. Add garlic, cook for about 1 min. and then stir in tomato paste and pepper. Stir in carrots and 1/4 tsp salt and cook 1 min. Remove from heat.

2. Combine 3 cups of water and lentils in a large sauce pan and bring to a boil. Cover and and simmer for about 30 mins. Uncover and increase heat to med-high and stir in onion mixture, cook 2 mins or until most of the liquid is evaporated. Stir in in remaining 1/2 tsp salt and freshly ground pepper. When cooled top with the yogurt and garnish with Dill. Enjoy!

    The following time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to read, but I really thought youd have one thing fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could repair in case you werent too busy searching for attention.

    One thing they did say about her though was that she loved olive oil, which is why she lived so long. Impressive when you sit down and think of it.

    Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “One who’s our friend is fond of us one who’s fond of us isn’t necessarily our friend.” by Geoffrey F.

    Hiya, I’m actually glad I’ve discovered this information and facts. Today bloggers publish only about gossips and online and this can be really irritating. A fantastic internet web site with interesting content, that is what I want. Thanks for keeping this web web-site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t come across it.
