Having low iron, my mom is constantly telling me she’s going to cook me liver. No thanks! Lentils are a high in iron alternative, so I try to cook them often. When the weather is warmer, I’m usually not in the mood for soup (no matter how amazing it is), so when I saw this recipe I figured I’d give it a try.
I found this recipe on the back of a bag of lentils and I’ve made it a whole bunch of times since. The lentils come out flavorful, and the spices are not too strong. Of course, you could definitely add more spices to taste.
Sift through the lentil beans for “debris or foreign objects” like
the bag states.
Chop up the onion.
Add all ingredients to the pot.
Simmer for 40 minutes.
