Eggs with Lentils and Greens

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup onion, chopped (can also use bunching onion)

1/2 cup diced carrot

1/3 cup diced celery

1/2 cup sweet potato, finely chopped

3/4 cup lentils

2 cups vegetable stock or water

1 cups arugula

1 cup braising mix, chopped

2 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tbsps olive oil in large pot over medium heat.

  2. Stir in onions, carrots, celery, and sweet potato. Cook until softened, 7-10 minutes. (If using bunching onions, wait until step 4, and add the onions in alongside the greens)

  3. Add lentils, stock/water, and a pinch of salt, and let simmer until lentils are tender, about 20-30 minutes.

  4. Stir in arugula and braising mix and season with salt and pepper. Turn heat off and let greens wilt lightly in the pot.

  5. In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and crack in eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until eggs are lightly set.

  6. Serve lentil mixture with a fried egg on top.
