Recipe: Lentils with Summer Vegetables

Lentils with Summer Vegetables

2 cups lentils (any color), rinsed and drained
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 to 1 1/2 tsp summer savory [I didn't measure it exactly.]
black pepper
dried or fresh garlic to taste
1 bay leaf
5 cups water (or use part broth if you want)

Put everything in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30-40 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve over brown rice (or maybe potatoes).

Makes 4 reasonably sized servings
