Thank you for this. I had my first taste of lentils a week ago, and from the first bite i was hooked. I called my local member-co-op and ordered a case.

(The Westbrae brand canned organic low sodium ones. So versatile.) They are not only addictive, but they are easy on the stomach. AMAZING!

Sounds good but I would saute the onions without the oil.

That is an option. I always make a recipe as written the first time I make it, then tweak it to my taste.
