Today's Recipe: Lentils

For today's meal, and some of tomorrow's, I made some lentils. I think this recipe is pretty good, and it's quick.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Lb of lentils
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 yellow onion
about a teaspoon of dried chili peppers (the kind that come with pizza)
Salt (optional)
Cooking and prep time: 20-30 mins.


1. Rinse lentils.
2. Cook lentils. Set the lentils in a pot covering them about an inch above. Put in the half onion and one garlic clove, while it cooks.
3. Crush the other garlic clove with the 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and peppers in a molcajete. 
4. When the lentils become soft, put in the crushed ingredients and add in the tomato sauce. Stir and salt to flavor. Add as much salt as needed.  NOTE: you might need to add more water, if it evaporates. This goes great with tortillas de maiz!
