I would like to cook green lentils. Any suggestions to a simple recipe besides the one on the arrrowhead mills bag? Links?

THANKS! Hubby has already started the organic garden vegetable patch!

Like most soups of this type, this one will taste even better the second day when the flavors have had a chance to develop

2 cups green lentils soaked overnight
1 medium onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1/2 peice of ginger root finely chopped
2 tsp of cumin seeds (or can substitute with 2 tsp cumin powder)
2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
1 tsp of freshly grounded cinnamon, cloves and black pepper
1 chopped jalapeno pepper
1/4 bunch of freshly chopped cilantro
salt to taste
4 tbsp of cooking oil

Boil the lentils in water until tender and keep aside.

In a seperate pan, add the 4 tbsp of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and saute them until golden. Then add the garlic and ginger and saute for another couple of seconds. Then add the tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, cumin, ground spices, salt and pour in the cooked lentils.

Let it cook for 30-40 minutes until the flavors get a chance to marry together. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with plain white rice (Basmati preferred)
