Cuisine French

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 onion diced
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 3 cups water or vegetable broth
• 1 cup dried French green lentils or pre-cook in the instant pot
• 1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms cleaned and sliced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 14 ounce or 400 gram can diced tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 TB capers
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil for serving

Instructions

 

• Heat vinegar in a medium pot over medium heat.
• When the pot is hot, add the onion. Sweat the onion for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until very fragrant.
• Add water/ broth, lentils, and herbes de Provence, then raise the heat and bring the water to a boil. Or precook the lentils to reduce cooking time.
• If not pre-cooking the lentils, lower the heat and allow the lentils to simmer until just a tad undercooked, about 30 minutes. Add a bit of hot water to the pot if it gets too dry while simmering.
• After the lentils are done, add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender.
• Add the wine to the pot. Raise the heat and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to cook until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, and capers into the pot. Bring it back up to a simmer.
• Remove the pot from heat and season the stew with salt and pepper.
• Divide into bowls and top with fresh basil. Serve.
