Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds leeks -- well rinsed and
sliced 1/2-inch thick, including some of
the green part
2 large carrots -- peeled and sliced
1/2-inch thick
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup green lentils
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper

In a large saucepan toss the leek and carrot slices with the olive oil.
Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly
browned, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover the pan and simmer
the mixture for 1 hour, until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid
has been absorbed. To keep the leek slices intact, do not stir. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
