Lentil Ragout image

From the local paper. Any lentil can be substituted for this dish. The green lentils hold their shape better. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like the carrots may come out pretty crisp. I would probably cut them smaller and cook them longer, since I don't like crunchy cooked vegetables.
