-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound brown lentils -- rinsed

9 cups water

6 garlic cloves -- minced

3 large carrots -- in 1/4-inch pieces

2 large onions -- chopped

1 teaspoon dried thyme -- crushed

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed

1 1/2 cups tomato puree

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

the lentils are tender. Stir in the tomato puree, salt, and cinnamon, and simmer

for 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
