¹⁄₂ cup green lentil

1 tablespoon olive oil

Cook the lentils in the water over medium heat until tender (about 20 minutes).
In a fry pan, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender.

I'm so sorry, but we did not like this at all. There was too much salt, and something in this made my and my husband's mouth go numb, not with heat, but with flavor. Maybe there's just too much of each spice. I plan on trying another recipe and incorporating some of these spices into it.
