Clean the vegetables, and dice the carrots, after peeling them, the celery (without the leaves), the potatoes and the courgettes into fairly small pieces. Heat the oil with the garlic in a high-sided saucepan. Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan.
Stew gently and then add all the vegetables except the lentils. Cook for about 10 minutes over a gentle heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. When they have softened, add the lentils, bay leaves, cloves and cumin powder. Adjust the salt and pour in the vegetable stock, bring gently to the boil, cover with a lid and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the lentils are well cooked and tender (but not mushy). Add the maltagliati at the end of the cooking time.
Before serving, remove the bay leaves and cloves and finish with a drizzle of EVO oil.

Black lentils and chilli
First courses
Level Easy
Prep 15'
Cook 20'
Serves 4
Method
The preparation is the classic one: while I cook the black lentils in a pot, in a pan I put a good amount of Macciano Dop Umbria which I leave to heat, without frying, with a clove of garlic split in half and some sage leaves.
After a few minutes I add a cup of tomato puree and the chilli pepper, in the quantity mentioned, and let it cook slowly for about ten minutes.
Now I add the black lentils, still al dente, and some of the hot vegetable broth. When cooking, I add salt, not pepper.
Separately I prepare some toasted bread, I soak it in oil - Macciano, logically; I will put it on the plate, before bring soup to the table.
Enjoy your meal!
