Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Mirepoix

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook Lentils

    Add the French green lentils to the pot along with the vegetable stock, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

  4. 4

    Finish with Thyme

    Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the fresh thyme, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
