- ½ cup chopped carrots
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 cup uncooked green lentils
- 4 ½ cups chicken stock (gluten free if necessary)
- 1 ½ cups lacinato kale, sliced thin
Instructions
- Turn instant pot to saute and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onions, carrots, and celery. Saute for 5-8 minutes or until onions start to soften. Add all spices and turn the instant pot off.
- Rinse lentils in a fine mesh sieve under running cold water.
- Add chicken stock and lentils and stir. Turn Instant Pot to manual and set timer for 12 minutes. When the time is up do a quick release. Using a dish towel turn the release valve to venting a little bit at a time.
