Savory Red Lentils Made for dinner: 1 cup red lentils (picked through) 1 onion 1 Tbsp. minced garlic (many many cloves) 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. dill 1/2 tsp. savory 1/2 tsp. chili powder 2 cups water Saute chopped onion and garlic in water (of course) for several minutes. Rinse red lentils (mine always have bug carcasses in 'em, so it's a good idea that you do so), and add with the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook for a few minutes more - 5 or so if you want to. This last step is not mandatory, but I didn't use enough water (only 1 1/2 cups), so I added 1/2 cup more and let it mix for a couple of minutes. Slop this up with some good fresh bread. I had some French Meadow Summer Bread - basil flavor. I warmed a chunk up in the microwave.
