Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped zucchini and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pot, over the same heat, add the onion, garlic, celery and carrot. Stir and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly softened.
4. Add the oregano, thyme and crushed red pepper and stir quickly. Add the grated tomatoes and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
5. Add the rinsed lentils and water. Raise the heat to high and stir gently. Once boiling, cover, and reduce to low heat.
6. Cook until the lentils are just tender, about 20 minutes (check the package instructions for your lentils).
7. Turn off the heat. Stir the zucchini back in with the basil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
8. Ladle into shallow bowls and serve immediately.
