Lentils

1. 1

   Put the lentils in a small pot with the water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, adding a little more water, if necessary.

2. 2

   That could take anywhere from 25 to 35 minutes.

3. 3

   If all the water hasnt been absorbed by the time the lentils are cooked, drain it off.

4. 4

   Season the lentils with salt to taste.

5. 5

   For an Indian accent, add to a pot of 1/2 cup lentils and 1 cup water: 1/8 cinnamon stick, 1/4 bay leaf, 1 peeled garlic clove, 1 thin slice peeled ginger, a pinch of turmeric, and salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Top with a small sprinkling of toasted cumin.

7. 7

   This is good with rice.
