Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Rinse lentils and drain
2
Place lentils, onions and bay leaf in medium large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1-inch
3
Bring to a simmer over medium heat then reduce heat to very low, cover, and cook very gently 20 minutes
4
Uncover, stir in salt, and add water if necessary to just cover the lentils
5
Continue cooking gently, covered, 10 to 25 minutes until lentils are just cooked through (creamy, not floury in the center, but not mushy either)
6
Frozen pearl onions are a super easy way to introduce a savory note to legumes as they are cooking
7
Lentils are the quickest cooking member of the legume family and need no soaking since the seed coat is very thin
