Cooking Time: 13 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
1 	pound lentils 
1/4	 cup olive oil 
2 	med size onions, minced 
3 	garlic cloves, crushed 
6 	cups chicken broth of water 
2 	carrots, finely diced 
1 	cup coarsely chopped celery 
1/4 	cup tomato paste 
1 TBSP 	brown sugar 
1-1/2 	tsp salt 
3/4 tsp 	white pepper ( added some Bermuda Sauce instead ) 
2 	bay leaves 
1 	tsp dried tarragon 
2 TBSP 	white wine vinegar ( I use Balsamic)

DIRECTIONS
Place lentils in a bowl.**** Add enough water to measure 2 inches above lentils. Soak 4 hours. Drain. 

Add onions and garlic and sautι in hot oil 3 - 4 minutes. 
Stir in drained lentils. 
Add broth, carrots, celery, tomato paste, brown sugar, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and tarragon. 

Stir well. Secure lid.
 
Over HI heat, develop steam to HI pressure. 

Reduce heat to maintain pressure and 	cook 12 minutes. 
Release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions. Remove lid. 
Cook over high heat 1 minute. Stir in vinegar. Discard bay leaves. Serve hot. 
The vinegar adds a zesty flavor. It is often added to Mediterranean Legume dishes. 
I have never been big on legumes, but I just love this. 
You must try it. It also freezes well.
