Lentils with Sage, Roasted Garlic, and Winter Vegetables


Looking for a warm, hearty fall meal that is as healthy as it is delicious?  Definitely try out this lentil dish.  It may not look very appetizing in the photo (yes, I'm still mastering the art of food photography with an iPhone, if that even exists) but my boyfriend and I both ate very slowly just to thoroughly enjoy all of the flavor of the dish.

At first I wanted to qualify this post as a "No Meat Monday" option, but it has a bit of bacon that purely adds flavor rather than crunch.  I'm considering trying a bacon substitute, something I've never done before, to see if it still packs the same flavor without removing it from the vegetarian realm.  However, the fresh roasted garlic is an absolute must.
