Cooking
- Heat a medium soup pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the onions + brown sugar and cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until softened.
- Continue cooking, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan frequently until the onions are golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, cook 30 seconds, add the balsamic vinegar, wine, and 2 cups (480ml) veggie broth.
- Bring the mix to a boil and then stir in the lentils, bay leaves, thyme and season with salt + pepper.
- Reduce to a simmer and simmer 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender, adding more veggie broth towards the end of cooking to keep the lentils in liquid.
- Once the lentils are tender, remove the bay leaves + thyme.
- Taste and season as needed with salt + pepper.
- Heat the broiler to high.
- Spread each piece of bread with butter then top evenly with cheese and place on a baking sheet.
- Place the sheet under the broiler and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the lentil warm with a side of cheesy toast! Enjoy!.
