How to Make Lentil Ragout

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until softened.
  2. Stir in 1 cup green lentils (or your preferred lentil), 4 cups vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy.
  4. While the lentils simmer, prepare the vegetables: Cut 1 medium turnip into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut 2 medium carrots into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Cut 2 green onions into 1-inch pieces.
  5. Add the turnips and carrots to the saucepan. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  6. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and the green onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
