Slow-Cooked Braised Black Lentils
Ingredients List
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ cup diced onion
-
½ cup diced carrot
-
½ cup diced celery
-
salt to taste
-
6 sprigs fresh thyme
-
ground black pepper to taste
-
1 cup beluga lentils
-
1 ¾ cups chicken stock
-
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
-
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
Instructions
In a saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened and the onion turns translucent.
Lower the heat to a simmer and add thyme sprigs and pepper. Stir in the lentils until they're evenly coated. Pour in the chicken stock, bring it to a soft simmer, and cover the pot. Cook, checking occasionally, until the lentils are tender and have absorbed all the liquid, about 35 minutes.
Remove from heat and discard the thyme stems. Stir in fresh parsley and a splash of vinegar. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
