âThis is one of those suppers you can start when you get home, then relax while it cooks. (Or help the kids with homework or hop on the stair-stepper.)â Apple and brown sugar help sweeten this delicious meatless meal. âTrisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho Ingredients:
1 cup dried lentils, rinsed |
3 cups water, divided |
1 large onion, chopped |
