Recipe Instructions

Rinse lentils and discard any pebbles. Place lentils, onion, garlic and bay leaf in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1". Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until lentils are tender, 25-35 minutes.

Add liquid as needed; liquid should be absorbed when lentils are done.

Serve warm.
