About the Recipe: Serve this vegetarian stew, thickened as a side dish, or add more liquid to make it into a soup. It is especially delicious topped with a piece of rustic toasted bread and melting cheese.
Cook Lentils: Pour in liquid ingredients (wine, broth, or water). Add lentils, mustard, sugar, vinegar, and rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; cover; reduce heat to simmer, cook for about 20 minutes or lentils are tender (Some lentils cook quicker while others take longer before they are tender.) Stir in cherry tomato halves; cook until hot.
Toast Bread Slices: Spray bread slices with olive oil; toast under hot broiler until golden; top with piece of cheese; broil only until starting to melt.
To Serve: Place chopped kale on bottom of shallow bowl or plate; spoon portion of lentils into bowl; place bread slice with melted cheese in the center; garnish with herb or flower sprigs.
Serves: 4
