   2      pounds        leeks -- well rinsed and
                        sliced 1/2-inch thick, including some of
                        the green part
   2      large         carrots -- peeled and sliced
                        1/2-inch thick
     1/4  cup           olive oil
   2 1/2  cups          water
   1      cup           green lentils
   1      tablespoon    tomato paste
   1      teaspoon      sugar
   1 1/4  teaspoons     salt
                        Freshly ground black pepper

In a large saucepan toss the leek and carrot slices with the olive oil.
Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly
browned, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover the pan and simmer
the mixture for 1 hour, until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid
has been absorbed. To keep the leek slices intact, do not stir. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
