Lentils With Onions

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Lentils with fried onions, salt and pepper and a little olive oil at the end if fantastic. I find the other spices are not needed. I always soak my lentils in water for a day before cooking them, it makes them extra tender and delicious. Also gently simmer the lentil rather than boiling, so they don't break apart.

    Lentils With Onions,An Indian recipe from Madhur Jaffrey. Can be made in advance, but when reheating, you’ll need to add a little water.,Lentils with fried onions, salt and pepper and a little olive oil at the end if fantastic. I find the other spices are not needed. I always soak my lentils in water for a day before cooking them, it makes them extra tender and delicious. Also gently simmer the lentil rather than boiling, so they don’t break apart.,Really Really Good! Made this for myself for lunch today. I did modify the recipe a little to suite my tastes, I like a LOT of flavor but am really trying to eat healthy (AKA no wheat, no dairy, no sugar). I only had 100g of lentils on hand, so I reduced the water and oil in the recipe but left everything else the same. This definitely a new favorite of mine! Thanks for posting!
