TWO
2 cups green lentils
5 cups water
1 large carrot, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp oregano

vinegar, to taste

In a large pot, sauté the ingredients in ONE, over low heat, covered, until the onions are translucent. Add the ingredients in TWO, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the ingredients in THREE and simmer, covered for about 30-40 minutes or until lentils are tender (add more water is too thick). Add vinegar, to taste.
