A warm and hearty lentil bolognese, perfect for autumn, with robust flavors and comforting textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until they soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils, crushed tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Mix well.
  5. Sprinkle in the dried oregano and basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, stir in the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Rinse lentils before cooking and adjust thickness by simmering longer for a thicker sauce or adding more broth for a soupier texture.
