  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ lb dry red lentils
  • 6 cups water or stock
  • 1 bay leaf

Directions

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add the onion and carrots. Sauté for a few minutes, until the vegetables have started to soften, then add the garlic.
  3. Add the lentils, bay leaf, and water to the pot. Simmer over low-medium heat for 20–30 minutes until lentils are softened.

Hot sauce can be added to taste. Freshly-squeezed lemon juice is a nice addition, preferably immediately before serving.
