The Gardner - Nick Stellino: Storyteller In The Kitchen (S1|E3)

Heat olive oil in a pan until hot.

Add red pepper flakes to the hot oil.

Add thickly cut garlic to the oil.

Add chopped onion, celery, and carrots (soffritto) to the pan.

Add lentils to the pan and sauté with the mirepoix.

Do not add salt or pepper at this stage to avoid overpowering the lentils.

Add chicken stock to the lentils, using a ratio of 1 cup lentils to 2 cups stock.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Cook until lentils are tender and have absorbed flavors, adjusting salt and pepper to taste before serving.
