1 lb. bag of lentils
1 stick butter
1 small onion, diced
4 medium cloves of garlic, sliced
Put all ingredients in a pot
Put in enough water to just cover
Bring to a boil
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender – about 30 minutes
Stir occassionally and add more water if needed
Some people add a chopped up green pepper, and/or a chopped up tomato towards the end.
One lady tops it with grated carrots.
