Ingredient:
- 2 cups brown lentils
- 2 large onions
- 5 tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp. oil
- 3/4 tsp. salt (or more to taste)
- 1 1/2 tsp. marjoram
- 1 1/2 tsp. savory
Direction:
Boil lentils in water for about 30 - 40 minutes (or until thoroughly cooked). While these are cooking, chop onions and tomatoes. In a very large skillet or pan, saute onions until translucent. Add tomatoes and stir occasionally. Add marjoram, savory and salt. When it seems the tomatoes are fairly stewy and cooked, add the cooked, well drained lentils (which by this time should be done). Cook together for 10-15 minutes more.
This seems to go exceptionally well with steamed cauliflower on the side, and goes well over rice, or other grains, such as quinoa.
