Lentil Skillet (With Cumin and Lemon)

Submitted by Michelle from Central Time

"Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful. I tend to cut the recipe in half, and then use less olive oil and more cumin. Also I sometimes find the uncooked garlic a bit harsh; wilting it a bit in the bottom of the pan may be wise."
