Ingredients
- 1 medium leek cleaned trimmed and finely sliced
- 3 stalks celery roughly chopped
- 3 medium potatoes peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 5 medium carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 Cups lentils cooked
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Small bunch of fresh chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large stainless steel pot, heat oil and garlic. Brown the garlic for a minute and then add the leeks, celery and bay leaves. Cook over high heat for 10-15 minutes, or until browned and soft. Reduce heat to medium high and add the potatoes and carrots. Cook for around 5-8 minutes stirring regularly to get the vegetables coated in the pan flavours.. At this point add the stock, Worcestershire sauce and the lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes or so. Remove from heat and toss in the fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper. Ready to serve or even better after it sits for an hour or so.
