    Title: Lentils Cacciatore
    Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Sauces
    Yield: 5 servings

    2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    2 lg Carrots; peeled, cut in 1/4"
    - pieces
    1 Red bell pepper; cored, thin
    - sliced lengthwise
    Salt & black pepper
    1/4 c Capers; drained
    3 tb Tomato paste
    5 cl Garlic; thin sliced
    1 1/2 ts Fresh rosemary
    +=OR=+
    1/2 ts Dried rosemary
    1/2 c Red wine or stock
    14 oz Can crushed or diced
    - tomatoes
    3/4 c Red lentils

    In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over
    medium-high. Add the carrots and bell pepper, season
    with salt and pepper, and cook until just softened, 3
    minutes.

    Add the capers, tomato paste, garlic and rosemary and
    cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste
    begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3
    minutes.

    Add the wine, season with salt and pepper, and cook
    until nearly all the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3
    minutes.

    Add the tomatoes, red lentils and 2 1/2 cups water.
    Bring to a boil, partly cover, then reduce the heat and
    simmer until the lentils start to break down and lose
    their shape, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir vigorously from time
    to time to scrape any stuck lentils from the bottom of
    the pot. Season generously with salt and pepper.
