Categories     Soups

Time 2h55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

about 250 g dried lentils, soaked for 1-2 hours
about 500 ml water
1 clove garlic
1 rosemary sprig
2-3 Tbsp e.v.o. oil
1/4 yellow onion
1/2 carrot
1/2 celery stalk
a pinch of peperoncino (chili flakes)
about 300 g crushed tomatoes or passata (we used my dad's homemade passata)
180-190 g Carnaroli or Arborio rice (we use Carnaroli)

Steps:

  • If using dried lentils, soak the lentils in water for 1-2 hours. Rinse and drain.
  • Cook the lentils on low heat in double the amount of water with a clove of garlic and a rosemary sprig for about 20 minutes. Add water if necessary. Drain with a slotted spoon, leaving the cooking water aside.
  • In a saucepan, add the olive oil, minced carrot, onion, celery and a pinch of chili flakes. Saute until softened, for a few minutes.
  • Add the tomato sauce and cook on low/medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the lentils and half of the cooking water. Stir and turn off heat. Turn the heat on medium a few minutes before you add the rice.
  • In a pot of salted boiling water over medium heat, add the rice and cook for half of the cooking time (about 10 minutes).
  • Drain, then add to the saucepan with the lentils/sauce.
  • Keep cooking until the rice is cooked and lentils are tender and broth reduced.
  • Turn off heat, let sit for a couple of minutes, then plate.
  • Buon Appetito!

Time 1h48m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ounces pancetta or 2 ounces bacon, cut into pieces
1 cup onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup celery, cut into 1-inch chunks
6 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup dry whtie wine
8 -10 cups hot water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups lentils, rinsed and picked over
1 1/2 cups italian short-grain rice (Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano)
1 cup chopped scallion
1/2 cup grated grana padano (plus more for passing) or 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese (plus more for passing)

Steps:

  • Drop the pancetta into the food processor bowl, and pulse several times, to chop the meat into small bits.
  • Scrape all the chopped pancetta right into a heavy 5- to 6-quart saucepan.
  • Put the onion, carrot, celery, and sage leaves into the empty food processor bowl, and mince together into a fine-textured paste or pestata.
  • Put the butter and olive oil into the saucepan with the minced pancetta, and set over med-high heat.
  • Cook, stirring, as the butter melts and the fat starts to render.
  • When the pancetta is sizzling, scrape in the vegetable pestata, and stir it around the pan until it has dried and begins to stick, 4 minutes or so.
  • Clear a space on the pan bottom and drop in the tomato paste, toast it in the hot spot for a minute, then stir together with the pestata.
  • Increase the heat, pour in the wine, and cook, stirring, until the wine has almost completely evaporated.
  • Pour in 8 cups of hot water and the tablespoon of salt, stir well, and heat to a boil (add all 10 cups of hot water if you want to serve the rice and lentils as a thick soup rather than a denser riso).
  • Cover the pan, and decrease the heat slightly, to keep the water at a moderate boil, and let it bubble for 20 minutes or so, to deepen the flavors.
  • Stir in the lentils, return to a gentle boil, and cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils just start to soften, 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in the rice, return to a bubbling simmer, and cook, cover ajar, until the rice is al dente, 13 minutes or so.
  • If the dish is thickening more than you like, lower the heat and cover the pan completely.
  • If it seems too thin, remove the cover and cook at a faster boil.
  • When the rice and lentils are fully cooked, turn off the heat.
  • Stir in the scallions and grated cheese.
  • Serve in warm bowls, passing more cheese at the table.
