I saw this recipe and decided to give it a try. I started it last night at the end of an all day cooking spree, but finished it off today because I ditched it to go for sushi with my friend May. I'm still hungover right now so I can' t really give an opinion of it. I'll come back when I have it for the first time.

INGREDIENTS:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used less - 2 maybe)
1 onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid (didn't have this so I just processed 3 plum tomatoes)
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth (just used bouillon and H20)
2 cups dry brown lentils
1/2 cup red wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

DIRECTIONS:
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Place the onions in the pot and saute for 10 minutes, or until onions are tender.
Place the tomatoes in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Pour this into the pot with the onion along with the chicken broth and the lentils
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes. Then, stir in the wine, garlic, nutmeg and cloves. Simmer for at least 25 more minutes (I actually simmered for a couple hours).
