Lentils With Ham & Rosemary (Slow Cooker)

• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 cups cooked ham, diced
• 2 cups carrots or 2 cups parsnips, diced
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 34 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 lb dried green French lentils (about 2 1/3 cup)
• 4 cups free range organic low sodium chicken broth
• 3 cups water (or enough to cover everything 2-3-inch)

1. Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker except the ham.
2. Cook covered on high for 3 hours.
3. Add the ham and cook for an additional 1-2 hours or until the lentils are done.
4. Discard the bay leaf and serve.
5. Note: You may add the ham at the beginning of cooking, but I find it tends to dry out slightly.
