Ingredients

6 servings
  • 1⅔ cups cubed, peeled sweet potato
  • 1⅔ cups cubed, peeled parsnip
  • 1⅔ cups cubed, peeled carrot
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces (1 cup) chopped pancetta
  • 1 cup chopped shallots ((about 6 large))
  • 1 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1¼ cups dried lentils
  • 8 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, (divided)
  • 8 cups Swiss chard, (trimmed and chopped (about 9 ounces))

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Combine the sweet potato, parsnip, carrot, 2 tablespoons vinegar, oil and salt in a large bowl; toss well. Arrange the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Set aside when finished roasting.

  3. Cook the pancetta in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallots and onion to the drippings in the pan; cook 15 minutes or until golden brown. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, thyme, garlic, and pepper; cook for about 1 minute. Add the wine, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits. Add the pancetta, lentils and 5 cups broth to pan. Bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Add the remaining 3 cups broth and roasted vegetables to the pan, and simmer 15 minutes, uncovered. Add the chard, and cook 2 minutes or until wilted.
