Tomatoes and Lentils

Lentils are very healthy and good for you, but are a bit plain by themselves.  I used lentils as a side dish with my Yogurt Marinated Chicken.  These lentils have flavor and were really good with the tomatoes.  Let me know what you think!

Tomatoes and Lentils

1 tsp oil

1/2 onion finely chopped (I used a food processor)

2 cloves of garlic minced (you can use the food processor)

1/2 cup of lentils

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp paprika

1 can of diced tomatoes

1/2 cup chicken stock

Salt and Pepper

Heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat.  Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft.  Add the spices and lentils and cook for about a minute.  Add the tomatoes and chicken stock and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the lentils are tender.  About 15-20 minutes.  Yummy!
