Recipe - Lentils With Pearl Onions

2 cup Brown or green lentils
1 pack (12ounce) frozen pearl
onions
1 Bay leaf
2 teaspoon Salt

TOO HOT TAMALES SHOW #TH1E11

Rinse lentils and drain. Place lentils, onions and bay leaf in medium large
saucepan with enough water to cover by 1inch. Bring to a simmer over
medium heat then reduce heat to very low, cover, and cook very gently 20
minutes. Uncover, stir in salt, and add water if necessary to just cover
the lentils. Continue cooking gently, covered, 10 to 25 minutes until
lentils are just cooked through (creamy, not floury in the center, but not
mushy either).

Frozen pearl onions are a super easy way to introduce a savory note to
legumes as they are cooking. Lentils are the quickest cooking member of the
legume family and need no soaking since the seed coat is very thin.
