Lentils, Garlic & Tomatoes

(see source for detailed directions, nutrition facts, and suggestions)

I purposefully make the directions cripplingly simple so you'll visit the source.

Ingredients

4 teaspoons olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
5 cloves minced garlic
1/2 lb tomato (peeled and minced)
1 cup dried lentils (washed and drained)


Directions

Cook the garlic in oil until it's turning brown, add tomatoes and cook until it's thick (about 8 minutes), add lentils and water, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer about 30 mins, add the salt and lemon juice, mix it all up.

Notes

I've cooked this once & thought it had great flavor, was healthy, and pretty cheap/easy. Only problem I had was with the lentils-- they had dried peas mixed in and those didn't cook at the same speed so the peas were  still hard. I give it a 7/10 because it tasted good, was cheap, and healthy.
