Ingredients

1 pound lentils, green or brown
1 medium onion halved and stuck with 2 cloves
1 each garlic clove peeled
1 each bay leaf
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
1 x salt
1 x black pepper freshly ground

Directions

Rinse lentils and discard any pebbles. Place lentils, onion, garlic and bay leaf in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1".

Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until lentils are tender, 25-35 minutes.

Add liquid as needed; liquid should be absorbed when lentils are done.

Discard onion, garlic and bay leaf. Whisk vinegar, oil and salt together in a small bowl. Pour over warm lentils and toss.

Before serving, season with pepper and additional salt, if necessary.

Serve warm.

Makes 6-8 servings.
