Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 cup Lentils, canned (drained, rinsed)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt (divided)
454 gm Yellow onion (divided)
1/2 tsp Turmeric, ground
2 bulb(s) Fennel (trimmed, cut into small dice)
1/4 tsp Fennel seed
3 cup Vegetable stock/broth
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch Salt and pepper
2 stalk(s) Green onion (cut into thin diagonals)
1/4 cup Fennel fronds (for garnish)

Instructions


In 2 ½ quart pot, combine lentils, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2-ounce chunk of onion, turmeric, fennel seeds, and stock. Cover pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer with lid ajar for about 20-25 minute or until lentils are tender. Remove onion and discard. Transfer lentils to medium bowl and set aside.

In 10-inch sauté pan, heat oil over medium flame. Cut remaining 14 ounces of onions into sauté slices and sweat with ¼ teaspoon of remaining salt until translucent. Add fennel and continue to sweat until onions and fennel caramelize (turn brown and soft), stirring often to prevent burning, about 20-25 minutes.

Add lentils to pan with onions and fennel and simmer on low flame until all liquid is absorbed. Season to taste.

Garnish with scallions and fennel fronds.
