Savory Lentils From Panama

1. 1

   Wash lentils thoroughly.

2. 2

   Put them in saucepan and cover with water, add butter or oil.

3. 3

   Cover and bring to a natural simmer over low heat.

4. 4

   *Note-this takes a little while but prevents lentils from breaking.

5. 5

   Once at a low boil, you may need to tilt the lid slightly to release steam and prevent overboil.

6. 6

   Add onions, peppers, and garlic and continue to simmer for about 45 mins or until lentils are soft.

7. 7

   Drain lentils in a strainer with a measuring cup beneath to catch the excess liquid.

8. 8

   Pour off all but 1 cup of the liquid (keeping the last cup gives the best texture) and return to the pan with boullion cubes, until dissolved.

9. 9

   Return lentils to pan and cook 15 mins more, adding salt& pepper.
