Using your food processor, pulse until the onion and garlic are cut into small pieces.

Set aside the onion and garlic mixture.

In the same food processor add the carrots and pulse into small pieces. Substitute with shredded carrots if desired.

Heat water in a large fry pan for a couple of minutes and carefully add the onion and garlic mixture.

Cook for about 3 minutes until the onions begin to soften.

Add the carrots and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Let the mixture come to a boil then turn the heat down to a low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are completely cooked. If the mixture gets dry before it’s done you can add more wine or water.

Serve hot or cold with any pasta of your choice, or over rice or zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan cheese when serving for extra flavor. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
