--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      c             Dried lentils
   1      qt            Water
   2      ts            Salt
   1      lg            Onion -- chopped fine
     1/2  c             Olive oil or bacon fat
   2      dr            Tabasco sauce -- up to 3 dr

Pick over the lentils, wash them thoroughly, add the water, and soak
overnight. If the water is dark and strong-flavored in the morning,
discard it and add 1 qt of fresh water and the salt. Simmer the
lentils in a covered pan from 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender but
not broken. Drain the lentils, and return 1 cup of the liquid to
them, or if necessary and enough water to the liquid to make 1 cup.
Cook the onion for a few minutes in the olive oil or bacon fat, add
the lentils, cook for a few minutes, and stir gently so that the
lentils are not broken. Add a few drops of tabasco and more salt if
needed. Serve hot.
