  3       lg           Carrots, chopped into

  1       c            Mushrooms, quartered
  3       c            Vegetable stock or water
  1 1/2   c            Brown lentils
  2       c            Plum tomatoes, chopped
  2       ts           Ground coriander
    1/2                To 3/4 ts ground cardamom
  2                    Sticks of cinnamon, broken
                       -in half
                       Salt and pepper to taste

 Cut orange in half and squeeze juice. Reserve juice.
 Stick 6 cloves into each half of the orange. Set aside.

 Heat olive oil in the pressure cooker. Add garlic,
 onions, leeks. Saute until leeks are wilted. Add
 celery, red pepper, carrots and mushrooms. Saute for
 another couple of minutes over medium high heat.

 Add stock, tomatoes, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon,
 lentils, reserved orange juice and orange halves. Make
 sure orange halves are buried in the stew.

 Lock lid in place, bring up to pressure. Cook for 11
 minutes. Release pressure. Season with salt and
 pepper. Serve over couscous.

 *Note: make sure to wash the leeks well. Mud tends to
 get caught inside them and there is nothing worse than
 girt in your stew.
