Ingredients:

2 cups

Brown

2 tsps

Salt

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
