Lentils, Olive Oil and Salt

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 part dry green lentils
  • 2 parts water
  • olive oil
  • salt

Directions

Rinse the lentils and remove any rocks.

Simmer the lentils in the water in a covered pan until all the water
is absorbed.

Turn off the stove (I've learned that this is important).
Add olive oil (lots) and salt to taste.

This is delicious, a staple of mine, seems generally unknown.
Ok you sophisticated cooks, tell me ONE thing to add which would
make this twice as good.

Preparation time: 40 min.
