Being of an Arabic ancestry I have been curious about what recipes have been
used for the lowly lentil.  I like making up some dishes with lentils but am
curious to see if anyone else has a favorite one using lentils.

One that I like doing is taking a 1 and 1/2 quart pot filled with a 16oz
package of dried lentils.  Start the pot boiling and add 2 good size onions
diced up, toss in about 3 or 4 beef boillion cubes for flavor.  This should be
allowed to come to a boil and then taken down to a simmer for a couple of
hours.  If you like add in 3 diced carrots to the simmering pot.  Make sure
that you keep the water at the starting level.  Lentils will absorb a bunch of
the water.  About a half hour before serving you can add in ham or a couple of
sliced up polish sausage for the meat.  Or if you prefer some diced roast beef.

This can serve as a nice respite from the every day chicken noodle soup and
vary the taste buds.  It is great served with some buttered pita bread that has
been halved, butter and heated in the oven til the butter starts to melt.
