Ingredients

  • 1 lb lentils
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 parsley bunch chopped
  • lemon juice
  • cumin powder
  • Salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Sautee the chopped garlic clove in the olive oil until golden. Add raw lentils and sautee for 2-3 min. Make sure they don’t burn, you just want to add a coating on them.
Add enough water until all lentils are covered by 1 inch in the pan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Drain them when they’ve turned soft but are not mushy, and 15 min depending on your stove. Put in a large bowl and let it cool.
Chop onion, tomatoes and parsley fine (or as course to your taste) and add to the lentils.
Add lemon juice (to taste, although it’s best when tangy), cumin powder (to taste), salt and pepper.
Chill and Serve!
This recipe lasted me for over a week and it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner
