Instructions

  • Drain the soaked beans, place in a 3-quart saucepan, and pour in the water. Tie the celery, thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a small piece of cheesecloth and add to the pan.
  • Bring to a boil and cook over high heat for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 45 to 50 minutes, until the beans are tender.
  • Discard the cheesecloth rag, reserve the beans, and strain the stock into a clean saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to 1 1/2 cups. 
  • Reserve. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly oil a shallow ovenproof dish with a 2- quart capacity. For the stew, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet and saute the garlic, onions, carrots, and fennel for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry the mushrooms, eggplant, tomatoes, thyme, and rosemary for 5 minutes.
  • Return the onion mixture to the pan, add the wine, and cook over high heat until most of the juice is evaporated. 
  • Stir in the tomato juice, lentils, and reserved stock and simmer, uncovered, over a low heat for 15 minutes. Add the reserved beans, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes more. 
  • Spoon the stew into the prepared dish, sprinkle the cheese and bread crumbs on top, and bake for 30 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Serve hot.
