Spicy Lentils

After a few attempts of making 
Lentils taste good to me 
I finally found a way to make them taste really good. 
At least in my opinion.
I added minced onions and minced garlic.
Then a mixture of a few dry spices.
I actually didn't have any fresh ingredients on hand. 
I had used what I had to make salsa a few days before.

Hot peppers, onions and herbs, 
lemon and black pepper and a very small amount of salt. 
I also added one 8 oz can of tomato sauce.

I boiled the lentils, water and spices 
and then covered and let simmer 
for about an hour or so. I didn't time the process. 
I just every now and then I would have a sample 
of the lentils to see if they were cooked long enough.


By the time they were soft enough I was 
partly full in sampling the lentils. 
So here is a picture of a small amount in a bowl. 
I also ate chips and salsa I had made.
Lentils are a healthy food, 
but it's hard to eat if they are not appetizing.
I am very thankful to finally have a 
recipe to cook them and love them at the same time.
