I have just finished looking through my archives and much to my amazement found that there are no entries for lentils. Lentils are so delicious and so good for you. They are packed with protein and fiber. They are easy to cook and require no pre-soaking. After rinsing and picking through the lentils, I simmered them in some water for about 20 minutes with cut up onion, celery, carrot and about an ounce of diced turkey sausage. I did that early in the day and later when I reheated the lentils, I added the rest of the turkey sausage (about 6 oz.), some more carrots and celery and a bunch of mushrooms. When the lentils were warmed through but the carrots and celery were still a little crunchy, dinner was served. We topped the whole thing with parsley and green onions. This dish is one of my comfort foods.
