These lentils, inspired by the Mexican notion of combining fruit with dried beans, is hearty yet totally refreshing as the pineapple chunks brighten every bite. Bananas and a tomato sauce enriched with raisins add an extra dimension. A squeeze of fresh lime juice over the lentils finishes the dish with a nice tingle.
1. Pick through the lentils, discarding any stones, and rinse well in a strainer. Place in a large heavy pot along with the broth, celery, carrot, and parsley sprigs. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender but not mushy, 20 minutes. Some liquid will remain in the pot.
2. While the lentils are cooking, heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is wilted, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes with the reserved juice and the raisins to the onion. Simmer uncov ered, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in the pineapple and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the bananas and cook 2 minutes longer.
5. When the lentils are cooked, remove the celery, carrot, and parsley sprigs and drain. Return the lentils to the pot.
6. Add the tomato mixture and gently fold the ingredients together. Serve hot.
