Instructions

  • In a large stainless steel pot set over medium to high heat add the olive oil and garlic. Stir for just a minute. Add the carrots, celery, leeks and bay leaves. Stir really well and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and give a good stir.
  • Add all the cooking wine at once with the fresh thyme and dried sage. Bring to a simmer and leave until the wine evaporates, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the stock, cabbage, green beans and lentils. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Leave to cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove thyme sprigs. Add sherry vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Leave for a further 2 minutes or so to simmer.
  • Serve topped with fresh parsley.
