Wash and sort lentils: Place the lentils in a bowl and cover with water. Wash and soak for 10 minutes or so. Drain well.

Saute firm vegetables: In a large heavy pot or Dutch Oven set over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add diced onions, carrot, celery, and potatoes. Cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

Add the garlic and zucchini: Add garlic and zucchini. Saute for another 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

Add lentils, spices, tomatoes and liquid: Add lentils, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne. Toss to combine, then add the tomatoes and water (or low-sodium broth, if you prefer.)

Simmer: Bring everything to a boil for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes or so until the vegetables are tender and lentils are well cooked (stir occasionally and watch to add water or liquid, if needed.)

Finish and serve: Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lime juice (or lemon juice). Transfer to serving bowls and top with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve hot with your favorite crusty bread.
