This recipe was a dinner party experiment that went very, very right. I used chard from the local farm we joined and black lentils I had in the pantry. Chard leaves are similar to spinach, and the stems are a more beautiful version of celery.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 bunch swiss chard, stemmed chopped and leaves sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup white wine
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 6 tomatoes chopped, or one 28 ounce can chopped tomatoes in juices
- 1 cup black lentils
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, sliced
- salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Saute chard stems, onion, and carrot in olive oil until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add chopped garlic and chard leaves then cook for three minutes.
- Add lemon juice and zest, wine, broth, and tomatoes and bring to a boil.
- Stir in lentils and return to a boil.
- Cover and cook for 40 minutes over medium heat.
- Add basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
