     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.
