Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the lentils and combine them with 4 1/2 cups water in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the lentils are quite mushy, about 40 minutes.

Heat the oil and skillet; saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until golden. Add to the saucepan. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes. Serve hot.
