• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup dried lentils
• 2 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
• 1 cup onion, sliced
• 2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced

directions

1. Place lentils in a strainer and discard any stones that you find. Rinse and drain.
2. Place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add chicken broth. Bring to a rolling boil.
3. Pour lentils into the pot slowly so that the water does not stop boiling. Add the onion and garlic. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Check after 15 minutes to see if the pan is dry. Add 1/4 cup water if needed. If there is too much liquid, remove lid and boil to evaporate.
4. Remove from heat and add vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well.
5. Place on individual plates with the sliced tomatoes on the sides.

I needed to review this recipe MONTHS ago! I've made it several times, never making less than doubling it! It's very good on its own...but I love to include steamed broccoli in it! I ALWAYS have Italian sausage with it, too! A match made in heaven! (Can't say as I've ever gotten around to the tomatoes though...) Works great with easy-to-find inexpensive green or brown lentils. I "needed" this recipe last year while I was taking off 50+ pounds...and now I just NEED IT! If you even think you like lentils, PLEASE TRY THIS! (Thanks so much for posting!)
