If you're not crazy about the tarteness of vinegar, then go easy on the white balsamic here. I like Colavita..and like the full amount! But you can always add it in.
Ingredients
1¼ cups French green lentils
12 oz. crushed tomatoes (I like Pomi brand)
2 onions,chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
½ cup white balsamic vinegar
½ cup olive oil
½ tsp. thyme
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery stalks, diced
red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
Put all ingredients together into one pot. Add about six cups chicken broth. Bring to boil, then simmer for an hour, uncovered.
Lentils should still be a bit crunchy, but not mushy.
This freezes very well!
