Really Easy Bacon and Red Onion Lentils

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"I just saw this side dish on the UKTV Food program called Market Kitchen. It was part of a larger meal but since I am always looking for ways to cook healthy things like lentils it grabbed my eye. I am putting it on here so that I don't forget about it. It looks really easy because of the use of canned lentils."

This was fast and easy but I thought it needed some oomph. I added some chopped garlic, salt, pepper and some herbes de provence to get it to a point of being tastier. It would be a nice side dish to many things, and I ate it alone as lunch. This will certianly be good cold too, as a salad, with some oil and vinegar dressing and maybe some veggies. Very healthy and full of fiber.
