Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb french green lentil
4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 large onions)
4 cups chopped leeks, white part only (2 leeks)
1 tbsp minced garlic (3 cloves)
1/4 cup olive oil, plus additional for drizzling on top
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp minced fresh thyme leave (or 1 tsp dried )
1 tsp ground cumin
3 cups medium- diced celery (8 stalks )
3 cups medium- diced carrots (4 to 6 carrots)
3 quarts chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tbsp red wine
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a large bowl, cover the lentils with boiling water and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drain.
In a large stockpot on medium heat, saute the onions, leeks, and garlic with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are translucent and very tender. Add the celery and carrots and saute for 10 more minutes. Add the chicken stock, tomato paste, and lentils. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, until the lentils are cooked through. Check the seasonings. Add the red wine and serve hot, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with grated Parmesan.
