Ingredients

1 cup lentils
4 cups vegetable stock
2 carrots peeled and sliced into coins
1 onion peeled and diced
2 stalks celery sliced
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Peel the onion and dice. Peel the carrot and slice into coins, slice the celery, mince the garlic.
Turn the Instant Pot to saute. When hot add two tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions, carrots and celery and saute for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, salt, pepper and garlic. Saute for another minute.
Add the lentils and vegetable stock. Change the setting to manual and set the timer to four minutes. Add the lid and seal. Ensure the valve is set to seal also.
When the timer goes off, quick release and allow all the steam to escape. Remove the lid and stir. Add two tablespoons of red wine vinegar and stir. Don't skip this part!
If desired top each bowl with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of minced parsley - amazing!!!
