Lentils with Pearl Onions

1. 1

   Rinse lentils and drain.

2. 2

   Place lentils, onions and bay leaf in medium large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1-inch.

3. 3

   Bring to a simmer over medium heat then reduce heat to very low, cover, and cook very gently 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Uncover, stir in salt, and add water if necessary to just cover the lentils.

5. 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. 6

   Frozen pearl onions are a super easy way to introduce a savory note to legumes as they are cooking.

7. 7

   Lentils are the quickest cooking member of the legume family and need no soaking since the seed coat is very thin.
