Ingredients and Directions

2 pound leeks, well rinsed, sliced 1/2 inch thick, including some of the green part

2 each carrots, peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick

1/4 cup oil, olive

2 1/2 cup water

1 cup lentils, green

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/4 teaspoon salt

1 pepper, freshly ground

In a large saucepan toss the leek and carrot slices with the olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned, then stir in the remaining ingredients.
